Boluda Continues Growth with Acquisition of Dutch Offshore Towage Operation

Spain’s Boluda Corporación Marítima reported that it is making another acquisition to further expand its offshore towage capabilities, Boluda Towage. The group has been moving aggressively to grow its towage business through acquisitions, reporting that it is now the world’s leading maritime towage operator, with a presence across five continents, in more than 232 ports in Europe, Africa, Asia, Oceania, and Latin America, and a fleet of more than 850 vessels.

The new acquisition adds Muller Dordrecht’s specialized offshore towage and maritime project expertise to the group. It is a Dutch maritime services company with more than a century of experience in offshore towage, heavy transport, and specialized marine projects. Muller Dordrecht will operate under the name Boluda Muller Towage, with a focus on serving offshore towage and marine project customers worldwide.

Founded in 1918, Muller Dordrecht has developed strong expertise in technically demanding maritime operations, from offshore and coastal towage to heavy transport and complex marine projects. The company operates a specialized fleet of 16 tugs, including 7 offshore tugs, together with 8 barges, supported by highly experienced teams and long-standing customer relationships.

“The acquisition broadens the capabilities of the wider Boluda organization and supports Muller’s focus on serving customers worldwide. Its specialist activities will continue alongside our existing European towage,” said Vicente Boluda Ceballos, Executive Chairman of Boluda Towage.
