Dan Tug A/S of Fredericia is the name of a newly formed Danish towing company set up by two mariners and divers, who wanted to start a business on their own. Klaus Dresler and Klaus Kristensen started their new company by purchasing two tugs from the towing company Jens Alfastsen of Horsens. It is the Susanne A, with a 40 tons bollard pull, that has been taken over at the homeport of Horsens. The tug will continue with same name for another three months on a time charter in the Mediterranean. The other is the small tug Sanne A of seven tons bollard pull. The tug is one of the oldest vessels in commercial work under Danish flag, built in Göteborg in 1908. Sanne A has changed name to Mads and will continue working in domestic waters. This week the tug and its owners started on a salvage operation of a pleasure yacht worth DKK 2.5 million at the port of Hou. At the towing company Jens Alfastsen only one tug is left in the fleet now, the Luna A, after the sale of the largest tug Mira A in March.
