SAAM Towage takes Ian Taylor
Chilean tugboat operator SAAM Towage has bought the Peruvian towage operations of fellow Chilean company Ian Taylor, as part of its expansion plan.
The five tugs it has purchased from Ian Taylor, four in the port of Callao and one in Paita, now mean that SAAM operates more than 180 vessels in 80 ports around the world, including Brazil, Canada, Mexico, Uruguay, Ecuador, Colombia, Panama and El Salvador, as well as Chile and Peru.
“SAAM Towage is presently in the middle of a high investment cycle,” said a spokesman for the company, which now operates 11 tugboats in Peru, after entering the Peruvian tug sector in mid-2021.
A manager at Ian Taylor said that the Chilean firm would continue to operate their ship agency – Taylor Agencias SAC – in several ports in Peru.
