Vernicos Tugs & Salvage has expanded its fleet with the addition of a tug from Mexico that will be deployed to oil business projects.

The Piraeus-based company has acquired the 4,750-bhp Oceanos (built 2003) from Mexican owner Itertug.

This deal follows two more acquisitions concluded by Vernicos in previous months for a pair of tugs from Pacific Basin.

The company says the Oceanos will be the most powerful tug operating in Greek waters, upon its delivery in January.
