Because of Turkey’s geographic location and
the growth in trade by sea, the already high frequency of ships
passing through its waters is increasing. As a result, there is
a rise in demand for the services of professional marine salvors.
Aware of this need, Sanmar has dedicated salvage equipment ready
for immediate mobilisation.

The company performed its first fire-fighting operation
in 1994 since when its has been involved in almost all the important
fire-related maritime incidents around the Turkish coast. The Sanmar
tug fleet is equipped with powerful fire-fighting arrangements meeting
international codes and the vessels are protected with self-drenching
systems. The tugs are instantly available to deal with incidents
involving dangerous cargoes.
