Market Overview:
The global harbour tugs market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.5% from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for harbour tugs from commercial and military ports across the globe. Harbour tugs are used for various applications such as berthing, unberthing, towage, and mooring operations in commercial and military ports. The global harbour tug market is segmented on the basis of type, application, and region. On the basis of type, the market is segmented into conventional tugboats, azimuth stern drive (ASD) tugboats, and tractor tugs. The conventional tugboat segment dominated the global harbour tug market in 2017 owing to its low cost and easy availability compared with other types of tugboats.
Product Definition:
A harbour tug is a type of watercraft used in ports and coastal waters to move vessels by pushing or towing them. Harbour tugs are usually smaller than ocean-going tugs and are often powered by diesel engines.
Conventional Tug:
Conventional Tug is a tow vehicle, which is used to pull or push other vessels. It can be motorized or non-motorized. Motorized conventional tugs are usually called as power tugs and non-motorized ones are known as manual tugs.
Azimuth Stern Drive Tug:
Azimuth stern drive tugs are a type of self-propelled floating machine used to move ships in and out of port or canal. They have two cranes mounted on a rigid frame which can be turned to face in different directions. The ship is positioned between the cranes and then pushed or pulled by the tugs towards the desired position in the port or canal.
Application Insights:
The commercial port application segment accounted for the largest revenue share of over 60% in 2017. The segment is likely to witness significant growth on account of increasing demand for tug services at seaports, including but not limited to: China, Netherlands, Germany, U.K., Japan and U.S. The need for efficient harbour tugs at these ports has been rising due to the increase in container handling activities and other related operations that require precise execution of tasks pertaining to unloading & loading of ships as well as trucks within a short time period with high accuracy levels.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global harbour tug market in terms of revenue with a share of over 40.0% in 2017. The region is expected to maintain its dominance throughout the forecast period owing to factors such as increasing trade activities and growing commercial port infrastructure. Moreover, presence of prominent manufacturers in this region will help the market retain its position through innovation and development of advanced products with higher efficiency levels.
Asia Pacific is anticipated to witness significant growth over the next eight years owing to rising demand for efficient tugboats from various ports located across China, South Korea, Japan, Singapore and India among other countries on account of rapid industrialization coupled with expansion & modernization projects at ports undertaken by respective governments are some major factors responsible for regional growth.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for harbour tugs from the shipping and port industries as a result of the growth in global trade.
- The increasing popularity of tugboats as a cost-effective alternative to traditional marine propulsion systems.
- The development of new tugboat designs that are more fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly.
- The growing demand for harbour tugs from the offshore oil and gas industry due to the expansion of offshore drilling operations.
- The increasing use of harbour tugs in salvage and emergency response operations
