Tugboat charter in Türkiye, the Black Sea and Marmara
Planning a tow in Türkiye (Turkey), the Black Sea (Karadeniz) or the Sea of Marmara? Lion Offshore reviews tugboat charter and sea towage enquiries against the route, the tow and the operating window.
For a Black Sea or Marmara enquiry, share the departure and arrival locations, dates, vessel dimensions and any loss of propulsion or steering. Identify any planned Turkish Straits passage so that tug sourcing and agency coordination can be assessed together.
Tug availability, suitable bollard pull, mobilisation and operating conditions are confirmed for each project before commitment.

Questions before your enquiry
What to prepare for your enquiry
Give departure, destination, dates, intermediate calls, access restrictions, local contacts and any fixed delivery deadline. Identify planned Turkish Straits passages for Türkiye, Black Sea or Marmara routes. Share vessel name/IMO where applicable, length overall, beam, forward/aft draft and laden or ballast condition. Explain propulsion, steering, damage and available towing connections; photos and a technical sheet can follow. The responsible parties assess the tug, towing arrangement, route, weather window and permissions for the project. Missing measurements may follow; distinguish estimates from verified measurements and state what needs confirmation.
How is mobilisation planned?
Mobilisation depends on the location, dates, scope and available resources. The team reviews these details with you before confirming an arrangement.
How are responsibilities agreed?
The scope, participating parties and their responsibilities are agreed for each project. Describe the support you need so these can be clarified in the quotation.
Can I enquire with incomplete information?
Vessel, location, dates, measurements and a technical attachment are optional. Share what you know; our team can clarify the rest.
