Localized Commercial Performance & Response Specifications
Dominating Thames Towage Operations
MMS coordinates closely with the PLA (Port of London Authority) Vessel Traffic Services (VTS) to ensure safe transit of large barge configurations through London's historic bridges. Our captains are experts in shot timing and tidal velocity management.
Civil Construction Towage
We support infrastructure projects along the Thames, moving aggregate materials, positioning spud barges, and transporting heavy plant equipment, bypassing road traffic.
MMS Marine Services Ltd delivers highly professional, fully licensed support to commercial vessel operators, civil engineers, marine contractors, and riverside infrastructure developers in River Thames. All operations conform to MCA Workboat Codes and Port Authority rules to ensure high-safety margins.
