The GUARDIAN is classified as an Emergency Towing Vessel (ETV), a dedicated rescue tug. While other vessels seek shelter in the harbor during rough weather, the GUARDIAN heads out to sea once wind speeds reach Force 5 Beaufort or higher. This strategic positioning ensures it can respond as quickly as possible to any potential incident. The primary mission of the GUARDIAN is to prevent emergencies.
