For centuries the Dutch Caribbean island of Curaçao, situated in the Southern Caribbean, has prided itself on being one of the most prominent maritime trading hubs in the region, and the Curaçao Towage Company, (CTC), has been an integral part of this strategic port’s development. 

We have even extended our reach beyond Curaçao to provide professional cutting-edge services to the Caribbean, Central and South America, and have proven ourselves to be an industry leader in the region.

In this multi-lingual island of Curaçao, CTC is popularly referred to as, “KTK” an acronym for “Kompania di Tou Kòrsou” from our local language, Papiamentu. But no matter what you call us, we remain committed to being the most reliable choice for all in-harbor, coastal and ocean towage; salvage; barge and pontoon transportation; and emergency response jobs.
