DMT Marine Equipment has further reinforced its presence in the United States with the delivery of two towing winches to Harbor Docking and Towing, an operator in the harbor towage industry. Building on this successful collaboration, Harbor Docking and Towing has since placed two additional orders: one for two towing winches and another for two escort towing winches. 

“I’ve been extremely happy working with DMT so far. We asked a lot of questions, requested some adjustments to the drawings, and the team was very accommodating. The speed in which things moved was impressive and it has definitely been a positive experience,” said Buchanan.

“We asked for better braking capacity for some escort maneuvers and an integrated level wind on one of the winches. Those engineering changes happened extremely quickly, and we were very happy with the outcome,” Buchanan added.

“On a harbor tug, the winch is the main piece of equipment. If it fails, the boat is out of service. That’s why quality and dependability are so important to us,” Buchanan emphasized.
