Tugboats perform a wide range of roles at sea, from towing and pushing larger vessels to icebreaking, firefighting and rescue operations.

Tugboats generally operate at low speed with frequent static periods often in warm, coastal waters, leading to a significant fouling challenge. International® fouling control coatings keep hulls clean even in heavy‑fouling conditions, supporting vessel efficiency while helping reduce fuel use and CO₂ emissions.

Tugboats operate in tough operational and environmental conditions which can lead to impact and abrasion damage leading to corrosion and poor aesthetic appearance. Our range of anti-corrosive primers and cosmetic finishes deliver long-term asset protection with minimised requirement for maintenance.
