Applications > Towing 

The towline is a vital element in any towing operation as it connects the towed vessel to the tug. The choice of towing line can be critical as no towing operation is identical. BEXCO offers various types of towing arrangements and can help you making the right choice considering various factors like local rules and guidelines (safety factors), general weather conditions, propulsion system, crew and port conditions.
