Since 1922 Rimorchiatori Riuniti have been operating tugboats,
those small powerfull orange vessels constantly steering through
the waters of thecommercial harbour of Genoa, including new
oil and containers terminals. Essential to the harbour's activity,
the tugboats not only put in and moor the arriving ships and
escort them out to the open sea, no matter what weather conditions
are, but also they watch over the harbour, assisting in case
of fire, oil spilling and whatever occurence might endanger
the safety of ships. From Genoa Rimorchiatori Riuniti have spread
their fleet to other Italian and International ports, specializing
worldwide in other activities such as the assistance to oil
platforms, the control of oil pollution, the deep-sea towages
of ships and any kind of floating crafts.
