More than just a Tug Company

Harbor Star continues to increase and modernize its fleet with more maneuverability and power, capable of precies movements for pushing, turning and pulling.

But it is not enough to be equipped with those modern tugs, it is "safety" that gives the company that extra edge.

Serving its clients under a policy of "safety first", the company has been entrusted to carry out 5,000 yearly docking and undocking operations with zero accident as an ultimate goal.

An average of 20 typhoons visits the Philippines every year. These bring disasters not only to agricultural produce, but also to its fishing and maritime industry.

They detrimentally affect the trading routes from Asia to the rest of the world and more often than not, ships are colliding, missing, or aground.

At a young age, the company boast of a significant number of successful

• deep sea towage
• search and rescue
• fire fighting
• ship salvage
• oil spill abatement; and
• hazardous chemical recovery

With the advent of "e-commerce" trading and the need to further develop the country's infrastructure to compete with the world market, the Philippines is expanding its port development programs around the country to meet the growing demands of the inter-island shipping and global enterprise.

With this in mind, Harbor Star has gotten involved in services such as:

• Dry docking
• Fabrication
• Vessel Lay-up
• Supply Based Management; and
• Diving and Underwater Services
