 |
 |
AHTS ITC CHINOOK has been contracted for the towage of Panamax bulker CONTI SERPENTIN from Buenos Aires, Argentina to Setubal, Portugal. The 225 meters long bulker sustained grounding damage to its propeller and is being towed with the rudder removed. Challenging conditions as this results in significant sheering of the tow.
International Transport Contractors B.V., better known as ITC, started in 1973 as commercial and operational managers for the tugs and barges owned by the Norwegian ship owner Tschudi & Eitzen. Since 2003, ITC is fully integrated in the Tschudi Shipping Company AS. ITC's key activities are Offshore Support, Ocean Towage, Marine Salvage and Heavy Lift Transport.
