The President of Boluda Corporación Marítima Vicente Boluda Fos, accompanied by his executive team, carried out the first official visit to the ABEILLE MÉDITERRANÉE in Toulon (France).
This visit marks Boluda’s first strategic approach to the vessel after the integration of Les Abeilles International into Boluda Towage in June 2024. During the visit, the delegation was joined by the Maritime Prefect of the Mediterranean, Vice Admiral Christophe Lucas, and Jean-Emmanuel Perrin, General Commissioner and Deputy to the Maritime Prefect. Together, they toured the impressive infrastructure of this tug, which operates 24/7, 365 days a year for towing and emergency response missions.
The visit forms part of the operational integration plan of Les Abeilles International into Boluda Towage, aimed at strengthening Boluda’s commitment to operational excellence and maritime safety in France.
Built in 2010 in Norway by the Kleven shipyard, the ABEILLE MÉDITERRANÉE stands out for its 290-ton bollard pull, being the most powerful emergency response tugs in the world. It joined Les Abeilles fleet in 2021 alongside its sister vessel, the AB NORMANDIE, and was later converted into a dedicated salvage tug, incorporating the expertise accumulated by the company over 150 years of offshore assistance operations.
