The Company
The Curaçao Towage Company (CTC) – Strong and Reliable


Strong and Reliable
A combination of qualified personnel, vast experience and effective management makes the foundation for our rapid progress at the Curaçao Towage Company (CTC). We are responsible for all towing, mooring and pilot launching services in the various ports of Curaçao. We are proud to say that we are also the most reliable choice for all in-harbor, coastal and ocean towage, salvage and emergency response jobs, barge and pontoon transportation and other jobs throughout the Caribbean, Central America and the northern coastal regions of South America.

Our level of expertise, powerful and state-of-the-art equipment, reliability and commitment to quality have won us a respectable place in the shortlist of numerous international shipping agencies and their agents.

Dutch Expertise
All CTC nautical employees have diplomas from reputable Dutch nautical schools. This translates into keen Dutch-trained, highly skilled and experienced personnel. We are proud to offer this level of skill in the region. Our customers can rest assured knowing that their vessels are in our capable hands when performing towing, salvage and rescue operations.  Apart from our highly-esteemed Dutch nautical standards we also fall under the jurisdiction of the Dutch High Court, which is renowned for its fair and consistent ruling. This provides our international customers with assurance that disputes or any other claims can be addressed professionally and gives them the peace of mind from knowing that when it comes to safety and insurance issues their vessels are well protected.

Continuous Upgrading
We are currently growing at a rapid pace. To accommodate this growth we have been investing for some years now in both our human resources and equipment. In 2004 we also re-organized our company to allow for more growth. With a team of approximately 100 personnel, all of whom are certified, we are ready to take on new levels of growth. We are proud of our team and committed to investing in their further training. Continuous improvement of our equipment is also one of our main priorities, and as such, we have recently invested in more than $5 million US to renew our existing tugboats
