Boluda Towage receives permit for port towage services in Rotterdam

Boluda Towage has received a permit to provide port towage services in the Port of Rotterdam under the newly introduced uniform permit system introduced by the Harbour Master.

From 1 July 2026, all providers of port towage services in Rotterdam must operate under the same permit conditions. These conditions cover safety, professional competence, availability and cooperation with other nautical service providers in the port. With this permit in place, we are able to ensure quality standards in the port of Rotterdam for the future. 

The permit allows Boluda Towage to continue supporting vessels throughout the Port of Rotterdam. It also reflects the experience of our crews and our long-standing commitment to safe and reliable towage operations in one of Europe’s busiest ports.

More information about the new permit system can be found in the original announcement by the Port of Rotterdam.
