Poster summary
- Tugboats are crucial vessels that assist larger ships in port maneuvers, cabotage, and offshore oil extraction activities. In Brazil, the tugboat market has witnessed significant growth in recent years, with a growing fleet, increasing power, and advancements in environmentally friendly technologies. The WS Centaurus, the most powerful tugboat in Brazil, exemplifies this trend with its optimized hull design, reduced GHG emissions, and compliance with IMO regulations. As the Brazilian maritime industry continues to expand, the demand for tugboats is expected to remain strong, driving innovation and further advancements in these essential vessels.
