Salvage tugs are stationed around the world, especially in sea areas with high traffic or dangerous weather conditions. Due to a continuous decline in ship accidents, however, civil salvage tugs can hardly be operated economically today and they are therefore mainly used in multi-purpose functions as salvage, deep-sea and anchor-pulling tugs .

The equipment consists of extensive towing devices, fire extinguishing monitors for fire fighting , foreign Lenz plants for leakage control , workshops , ship cranes and dinghies .
