On Friday 7 June Port Melville’s newly established towage capability was declared operational following two days of Port and surrounding waters familiarisation by the vessel crews.
The tugs, MT Kioloa and MT Capel, are owned and operated by Coastal Tug & Barge (CTB) under an agreement with NTPM to provide in-situ towage services for the Port. The vessels are home ported at Melville and available to service clients 24/7 with appropriate notice.
