Watching the tug shaking when you go full speed ahead reminds of the Enterprise days when we were transiting full speed across the Atlantic and the whole ship shakes...Sometimes the screws come with very small alignment kinks and the whole piston movement causes the entire ship to shake.

With twin screws you’ve got maneuverability compared to older boats with single screw where you really have to be careful. Twins you can screw steer, walk the tug sideways. Open wheels you do encounter cavitation when you’re powering on either engine in reverse with the other engine in forward just above clutch. Landing barges walking them with the screws is common. Tugs around here run nozzles to have the pulling power in a smaller boat.

Those river tugs have rudders forward of the screw; I think they call them backing or flanking rudders. They're pretty unique. On other boats there are jog sticks (Non follow-up, spring return to center) which move the rudder as long as you're holding it to port or starboard. When you release it, the tiller moves back to center and the rudder stays where it is. There are also follow-up levers that you move to where you want the rudder and it puts the rudder there until you move it back to center. Follow-up sticks are very handy, for example, if you want to run out to the wing and see what's going on without waiting for the rudder to get where you want it.

We are a conventional tug (no pods). We have two big rudders after the wheels. You can see the boat out of water in my Shipyard series. The rudders do very little in reverse (some boats have flanking rudders in front of the wheels to steer in reverse) but you have to twist with one ahead and one astern to steer in reverse.

Thank you for watching. We are currently 25,000 gallons lite on fuel. She won't shake as hard and will handle a barge much better after we get topped up with fuel again.

Another great video. Thank you. Can you please comment on 3 things. 1 Meaning of a "50 Barge" 2 Meaning of "clutch on 1, or 2" and 3 the instrument and controls on your right side. Keep up the great videos.
@TimBatSea4 жыл бұрын
Thank you for watching Joe. 1)50,000 barrel Barge, 2)clutch one means one engine in minimal rpm in gear, clutch two are both engines just after being engaged. 3) the round dial is the rudder angle indicator. The mouse is for controlling the chart plotter and the joy stick is what we use instead of a steering wheel.

Having this actual speed video really gives a better understanding of the pacing, how much you need to work ahead. It would be great if you could give more explanation of what is going on with voice over, captions and graphics overlaid on the video. Like I really didn't know where the dock was that we were heading toward, or which ships you were taking to.

Who cares about the camera vibrations at times . It help you express to me when and how much power you were putting down. Another Incredible video, 3 in 3 days. Can you show us what and when you would use those lights on the left side of the screen. Well Done

Now that was some cool stuff! Love every bit of that. I actually like the vibration of the screen also, it almost gives a feel for the cavitation! Only other thing I could possibly ask for is what the other tug was needed for? Seemed like you had that thing marched into perfect dockage. Then what CLUTCH means... guessing clutch 1 & 2 was how much clutch he was providing?
@TimBatSea4 жыл бұрын
Thank you for watching Thomas. I needed the assist tug for two reasons. 1) the wind and tide were pushing us away from the dock and 2) if we were unable to get a line out, I didn't have much room on the other side before the barge may have contacted the cell or catwalk on the left. Clutch 1 means minimal amount of power on one engine. Clutch 2 means the same but with both engines.

@combatmedic19804 жыл бұрын
Tim, how about telling us the jargon terms your using docking, and the commands you gave the assisting tug, and what is a 50 ? Is it the tonnage of the barge your pushing? Why are not most tugs using the VPS or the Azimuth drives instead of the straight standard drive which doesn't seem as maneuverable? Thanks Tim.
@TimBatSea4 жыл бұрын
Ok.. Big breath. Lots to unpack.i plan on doing a docking or sailing video with me trying to tell you what I am doing while doing it. 50s are 50,000 barrel barges. Tractor tugs are much more maneuverable than conventional tugs and much more expensive. They are mostly used for ship assist.

I saw live feed of the hospital ship docking this morning in New York. Did you get footage or maybe be able to do a voice over of how it was done? I think I saw 5 tugs so I was curious of responsibilities of the different tugs. Thanks
@TimBatSea4 жыл бұрын
Thank you for watching Mike. No, I was coming out of the Con Hook range when it was going by. Snapped a couple pics for Facebook. We only move petroleum products. The tugs you saw where ship assist tugs. They are very similar, but usually no upper house and the newer ones are tractor tugs and are extremely maneuverable.
