Point Tupper Towing has secured a long - term contract extension with San Antonio - based, NuStar Energy to continue its tug service at NuStar’s terminal in Point Tupper, Nova Scotia, the company said in its press release. Point Tupper Towing (PTT), a joint venture between Svitzer and Atlantic Towing Limited (ATL) will continue to provide tug services and marine terminal support at NuStar Energy’s Point Tupper facility.
Since 2010, PTT has provided three tugs, Svitzer Bedford, Point Chebucto and Point Valiant to support NuStar’ s terminal operations. With the contract extension, these three tugs will remain in Point Tupper. The contract extension award is the result of a strong operations partnership that has developed between PTT and NuStar during the course of the initial five years.
