Boluda Towage has
acquired full ownership of Dutch maritime services company Muller
Dordrecht. The acquired business will
operate as Boluda Muller Towage. It brings a fleet of 16 tugs, including seven
offshore tugs, and eight barges, along with Muller's expertise in offshore
towing, moving heavy loads and marine projects. Boluda Muller Towage will provide services
worldwide to customers in offshore towing and marine projects. Boluda said the
transaction forms part of its international growth strategy. "Its specialist activities will
continue alongside our existing European towage operations," said Boluda
Towage Executive Chairman Vicente Boluda Ceballos. Muller Dordrecht was founded in 1918. Its
offshore work includes rig moves, anchor handling and moving monopiles and
offshore substations by tow for wind farm construction, with experience in the
North Sea and Baltic Sea. The company
also handles towage at sea and along the coast, as well as heavy transport and
lifting, load testing for crane vessels, and round-the-clock emergency response
and salvage along the North Sea and English Channel coastline. Muller's seagoing fleet includes a
120-tonne bollard pull ASD tug with FiFi2 capability and 90-tonne bollard pull
ASD tugs such as En Avant 25. The company took
delivery of the 65-tonne bollard pull En Avant 19 for offshore and
inland work in March 2026. Its barges
are flat-top Ro-Ro units. Most hold both inland and seagoing classification,
which allows cargo to be moved from a riverside location to an overseas port
without transshipment. The largest listed unit measures 100.23 metres long and
has a capacity of 16,500 tonnes.
