Trelleborg has announced the launch of SafeTug, a new software system that aims to assist tugboat operators and ports in optimising efficiency through real-time data sharing.

Trelleborg has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Third Harbor Consultants Company (THCC), a subsidiary of the state-owned China Communications Construction Company (CCCC), which will see the firms work together on the development of new marine technologies to support China’s ports.
