During this time, we looked forward to the day when a tugboat built at UZMAR Shipyard would also serve in Europe. It was finally possible with SVITZER Elizabeth. It will be one of the strongest tugboats in the region when it goes into service. We look forward to working with UZMAR on more tugboats to be deployed in Europe. We are continuing our preparations with UZMAR to start the construction of two TRANSverse tugboats, whose contracts we signed in the past weeks. I hope that thanks to this cooperation, we will witness the successful conclusion of many more projects together”.After SVITZER Liverpool Port Manager Jennifer Beswick cut the ribbon for the ship's departure, SVITZER Elizabeth made a short show and set off for the Port of Liverpool, where she will serve.
