-
preparation of a tow for towage (converting, sealing), providing a tow for class society inspection, obtaining the one-way towage certificate
-

The basic pro-forma tow agreements we use are standard BIMCO charters such as "Towcon" and "Towhire". JSC "Belfreight" possesses a corresponding license enabling it to perform sea towages.

The tug crews are well-trained professionals with extensive experience, so the services provided by our company are highly efficient in performing the entire range of necessary operations.
