We have long-standing roots in British Columbia, having operated along the Pacific coast for over 70 years. Originally known as Rivtow, a family-owned coastal and harbour towage company, we focus on harbour towage and tanker escorts. Serving seven ports – Vancouver, New Westminster, Prince Rupert, Kitimat, Stewart, Squamish and Port Mellon – we operate 22 tugs with a capacity of up to 85 tons of bollard pull. Later known as Smit Marine Canada and SAAM Smit Towage, in 2019 we became SAAM Towage Canada. Thanks to a diverse fleet, we can provide the required power to service a variety of vessels. We continue to invest in fleet modernization to meet increased demands for tug power along the B.C. Coast.
