Due to the nature of the Port, Towage may be required on certain vessels when berthing or sailing to/from our berths. The Pilot/Harbour Master/Vessel Master may also request towage for any vessel.
Cattewater Harbour Commissioners own and operate a Harbour Tug Prince Rock, regularly seen operating in the port.
The Ports’ Towage Guidelines can be found here.
Please contact us to discuss towage requirements in the port, or to charter our vessels for work.
