40 years ago when I was running a single screw ship-docking tug, we surely did not have the equipment, nor certainly in my case the nerve to give the ship that kind of help. Using the ocean to multiply his horsepower.....I wonder what the overall bollard pull was. -Veteran '66-68

Same idea here except the maneuver is being used to increase the tugs pull on the ship by harnessing the power of the drag of the ocean. I hope I have explained it in a manner that makes sense.

I am pretty sure I was a tug boat captain in another life. Love watching these machines and men working together.

I am an experienced ASD Tugmaster. This appears to be a Damen 3111 or such, equipped with 270 tonne Amsteel Blue UHMWPE towline. Very experienced master at the helm & great footage. Well done. However, to all tugmasters out there, I have one word to state. Watch your EGOs. This tug is not designed for indirect towage. The portside mooring bitt has a lovely snag point at its aft point. Has anyone made watertight, the emergency fire pump locker on the port quarter, seen fully submerged during the shoot. It's lovely to watch and lovely to imagine that nothing can go wrong but seriously, this is nothing but an ego trip which if anything serious occurred, the particular insurance company would just dust you off.

Thank you Robert. Definitely not a stunt. Why it was done, is not the object of my point. However it appears to be an experiment in the use of this tug design, to ascertain suitability for indirect towage, perhaps only for emergency situations. Given the now accepted preference of rotor tugs for this manoeuvre but notwithstanding the fact that many ports still don't use rotor tugs, I guess it is only natural to determine if existing tugs are able to carry out indirect towage. I believe this clip bears out my thoughts. It is not a vessel I would elect to use for indirect towage and given it's configuration with clear snag points at crucial bulwark sections (crucifix each side), I would not be happy to rely on an emergency brake release if such a snag occurred at that point or at any other point on the vessel. So many things can go wrong at any time, resulting in death. A failed main engine; steering failure; autopilot suddenly overriding a control unit due to incorrect deactivation by prior master and winch brake failure among just a very few items to mention. My initial main point was to simply alert any tugmaster to make certain he has the right tool for the job, that he and his crewmembers will survive to see their loved ones and to consider all risks, while resisting ill informed pressure from pilots, the company and his/her personal EGO.

@@AphexTwinII I've broke into tugs doing ship assist and smaller barges in San Francisco Bay, then large ramp barges in Alaska. I gotta say, for someone who has actually done this sort of work, the operator is showing skill, nerve and utilization of equipment that is superior to the old single screw boats I was up on in the early 80's. The old boats did not dare do this, it was on the ragged edge of disaster with no real way out, the propulsion systems now provide the ability to push as hard Sideways and they can full ahead. The ability to do this dynamic towing increases the bollard pull well beyond what the tug can do with just its engine. -Veteran '66-68

Офигеть вода пенится. Вот это тяга!

It had to be some sort of test. Neither side of the boat has traffic/ congestion, and the tug is pulling in opposite direction to stern movement.

The amount of force being put on that line is enormous 🤯🤯🤯🤯.

When man and machine become one!

Looks very dramatic, but the ship is moving very slowly ahead and the fact that the tug had the anchorage point at the bows meant that the moment arm used was the longest and so the ship's to pull was the least needed and the tug master did well with the thrust control at the back. The fact that the anchorage point went higher as the tug tilted could have been an unstable situation , but the direction of the white foam at the back indicated clearly that the tug master knew exactly what he was doing having available good sensitive power at his fingers.

@carmelpule6954

After almost a year, I do not know how I came back to this unique towing procedure but since I was teaching vectors last week, I must give credit to the tug master knowing that he knows this vectors and his drag and his buoyancy and his shift in centre of lift and of gravity as related to his metacentric height! all has magnitude and direction and he 'couples' them brilliantly.
