Tugboats

As a leading tugboat manufacturer, Loyd Shipyard designs and builds harbor, coastal, and offshore tugboats engineered to deliver maximum bollard pull with exceptional maneuverability. Our tugboats are constructed in steel or aluminium hulls, tailored to the specific towing, escort, and ship-assist requirements of ports, terminals, and offshore operators worldwide.

Every Loyd tugboat features robust hull construction, high-efficiency propulsion configurations — including fixed-pitch propellers in Kort nozzles for optimal thrust — and reinforced deck layouts capable of handling demanding towing winches, fire-fighting monitors, and hydraulic equipment. Our 1300, 1500, and 2000 series tugboats range from compact harbor tugs to powerful offshore-capable vessels, all built in compliance with IACS member class rules (Bureau Veritas, Lloyd’s Register, and equivalent societies).

Whether you need a dedicated harbor tug for daily ship-assist operations or a multi-role tugboat capable of salvage, diver support, and emergency response in rough sea conditions, Loyd Shipyard’s engineering team works closely with each client to configure the ideal propulsion, deck arrangement, and accommodation for the vessel’s operational life. With over 40 years of shipbuilding experience in Tuzla, Istanbul, and deliveries to ports across 25+ countries, Loyd Shipyard is a trusted partner for custom tugboat construction in Turkey and beyond.
