Boluda Towage and GEG have signed an agreement to acquire Caledonian Towage Scotland's towage activities and marine operations, together with the management, office staff and crew, based in Invergordon.
The local management team will now be headed by Andrew Murray as operations director, who will report to Phil Dulson, general manager of Boluda Towage in the UK.
Caledonian owner Roy MacGregor stated: “The decision for us to accept the opportunity to sell Caledonian Towage to Boluda came at just the right time, as we continue to diversify our offering as a business.”
Operating in the Cromarty Firth since 1969, Caledonian's fleet is engaged in a variety of towage and support activities.
Vicente Boluda Fos, chairman at Boluda Corporación Marítima, said: “To continue being leaders in the international maritime towing sector, our company needs to expand its scope of operations and we are proud that a company like Caledonian Towage wants to be part of our group.”
