Hanstholm Bugserservice A/S 2.16

Hanstholm Towing Company Ltd was started by shipmaster Niels Jørgensen and harbour assistent/navigator Gert Johansen in 1983 with the tugboat SVEND. They developed the company and the assignments were then primarily towing and salvage, operations in and around Hanstholm.

The field of operations was later expanded to cover the North Sea and European Trade. By buying the R/S GORM, in 1987 the company could now take on guard, standby, support, supply, survey and diving operations.

In 1998 the fleet was expanded with the newly built M/V THOR to service these types of operations and long towage of newly built hulls and pipes.

Since 1996 Poul Nordtop has been part of the company and the skipper on board the company’s ships.

At the commencement of 2016 he bought Hansholm Towing Company Ltd from the previous owners to carry on the business. Poul Nordtop finished his training as a navigator in 1979.
