Outsourcing of towage

Svitzer and Smit Lamnalco have agreed on a three-year tug outsourcing Service Level Agreement, to take effect from 1 September 2015 in the ports of Port Botany, Newcastle and Melbourne. Smit Lamnalco will withdraw their towage fleet in these ports and from 1 September, and Svitzer will be providing the towage services to Smit Lamnalco and their customers. Further, Svitzer are entering into bareboat charters of six of Smit Lamnalco's vessels. Both towage companies advise that they will continue to compete for customers, including against each other. Smit Lamnaco will continue to supply towage in other ports where they are presently operating. For information about operations in Australia contact GAC Australia at [email protected]
