Wilson Sons Tugs.
To meet these new projects, the company has been preparing. This year, construction began on a series of six high-powered tugs. The new units are being built at the Wilson Sons shipyard in Guarujá (SP) and will have the IMO TIER III standard, with a reduction of more than 75% in nitrogen oxide emissions, which is considered a greenhouse gas.
