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.
