Ensuring success in public contracts and oil & gas services: The successful outcome obtained by our firm ensured the client’s ability to provide essential services in the oil and gas sector.

Trusted leader in Peru’s tugboat industry: Saam Towage is one of the Peru’s leaders in tug services, with nearly six decades of experience operating a fleet of tugs in the main Peruvian ports. Currently, it has over 40 employees in 7 ports.
Challenges in Petroperú’s tugboat leasing process: This case is significant as it involved a public tender process with Petroperú, a state-owned enterprise in a highly regulated sector. It was an important opportunity within the specific scope of tugboat leasing services for tanker vessels at the Bayovar terminal. The process was particularly challenging due to the tight deadlines.
Latest development: The case concluded successfully with the client being awarded the contract for the tugboat leasing service. All agreements were signed, and the project is now in its execution phase.
