wowowowowoowo fantastic lookin ship...from the front looks like a yacht...awesome fotography...

Lorsqu'il fait beau, l'abeille se repose au port de commerce à Brest où je vais parfois lui dire un petit bonjour. Lorsque ça souffle elle est dans l'anse de Camaret. Lorque ça souffle vraiment elle est à Ouessant prête à intervenir. Merveilleux bateau, gardien de nos côtes bretonnes. :)

Beautiful ship! Very nice video

@euro42 Cheers, that makes sense-once coming home from France, a helicopter hovered above the ferry we were on, just a ''dry run'' for a rescue situation- luckily no one injured/ill. Thanks so much for info.

I totally agree, in my opinion, Norwegian ship design is the most good looking ship design in the world! At least in most cases!

Those sailors have balls of steel.

On était en Bretagne pour les vacances de nouvel-an et j'ai vu ce bateau ENORME dans le port de Brest. Impressionant.

great video amazing ship

Super film.....nice boat !!Tank you

What a beautiful ocean going tug boat.

For you all thinking this is some ordinary Tug/work Boat, Your Wrong! This is one if not the most Powerful Tug Boats in the world! This boat is owned by the French military & operated by the Coast Guard for Emergency Rescue services Betwen France & UK Coastal Line For all Maritime EMERGENCIES! Most Beautiful, Powerful & Hell Of TUG!!!

No the axe refers to the reverse rake shape of the bow. Watch a video of two Norwegian ships, one with and one w/o the axe. The axe bow is much faster and runs the seas better than the traditional bow. Type axe bow in the search bar.

The perfect Hull for an Explorer Yacht.

@Oakleaf700 This is the winch zone for the helicopter. If you have personnel of equipment that is delivered or retrieved with a helicopter the pilot in the chopper will use this circle as his target for his winch wire.

Impressionnant!!!

lets get some video of her working please

You're most welcome carper. :) One other thing carper look at the extreme pitching the red ship is doing vs. the almost flat running of the X bow. I would not want to be working aboard that red hull ship or this Abeille Bourbon. I don't get seasick but it's got to be very difficult to work on these ships.

oui un merveilleux bateau.

what a beauty

everything forward of the funnels makes this boat look more like a luxury yacht!

The axe bow shape has proven itself superior to the flared bow.

isnt this ship build in Norway?

@Murphyjah This boat is not owned by the French army, you're wrong, this boat is for the private company Abeille International Group Bourbon. It is chartered by the French state and is available to the Maritime Prefect of Brest at any time, to rescue people and especially for towing large boat in difficulties, generally in the storm.

Now you're making things up. Get the bow into weather always.

My bad not axe but the Ulstein X Bow design. Type that into the search bar you'll see the red hull ship which has the conventional bow with bulb and the blue ship coming up fast behind it. Look at the spray the red ship throws off its bow and the almost total lack of spray from the X bow ship. Clearly shows the X is the better bow design.

yes it is the next generation of french tug boats powered by the new "snails in a garlic sauce" power unit.

No, when you quarter a head-sea it is a lot easier on the vessel.

first of all, don't start complaining about the french language, you can't speak english good either. second of all. who gives a damn fuck or that guys speaking french here!? use google translate or something and why do you have to read it all if they all say like: great ship i love it, nice ship i really like it! or i've seen that ship! and than tell me, why do you piss on the french? what did they do wrong to you? and what did you do to them.

Ils exagerent toujours ces francais.... Ce n'est meme pas du 8 bf.... Tout de meme un tres beau remorqueur...
