THE TUGBOAT: THE CREW MANOEUVRES

In this episode, I go aboard the ‘Bretagne’ tugboat and stay with the crew while it manoeuvres in the port of Lorient.
This time it’s towing the “Skuteviken” oil tanker into port, swinging and mooring it, using a towline fastened to its rear axle.

As a retired tug man of 32 years performing sea and river work I can equate to this film.one has to appreciate that the hull space below the water line is mostly machinery space,making the job possible.

[@MrTugnut]

Fantastic bit of filming as a model tug builder it showed lots of lovely detail👍👍👍👍

Nice to hear, thank you.

Hi Kevin, you're right, in order the mission to be well accomplished, there are a lot of people involved: the crew on the tug, the crew on the tanker, the crew on the pier and the crew of the harbor administration. There are all great pro and I thank them for having let me film all the process. See you 🇨🇦 !

[@capt_haitham]

Let’s start from last step on this maneuver. When the tug boat coming to push ship from port quarter..! As my experience we can use the tug boat to bull or push the ship from port quarter if made fast short line. But if the tug boat made fast from center aft finally need to cast off line to change position as a pusher.

Je comprends comment ces remorqueurs "rikiki" poussent des mastodontes 30 fois plus grands et pesants que eux. çà doit balancer une purée pas possible. Quelle puissance de ces moteurs ? En plus ? çà, c'est une machine !!! Pas une goutte d'huile par-terre ou sur les porte de carter . Bravo les gars .

Bonjour Reno, tout à fait, "5 T à éviter" signifie la force de traction à exercer sur le côté droit où gauche. ( jusqu'à 40 T)

[@antoniocarlosfaggian8302]

Gostei de ver.

[@a-fl-man640]

i always thought tugs had old tires around the perimeter. this thing is just classy with it's solution to the problem.

[@UnyahPe1601]

For Safety reason. Without tires still it moves. Called Popeye's boat, small but Strong & Powerful.

[@ahinalu1]

This is a ship docking tug. It doesn't push much and probably doesn't move barges very often if at all. Tires (they use non-steel belted tires...usually old airplane tires so there's not steel wires sticking out to hang up on things). Tires are superior for barge work since they offer a softer landing when coming up to push a barge. Tugs that move/push/tow heavy barges (like gravel, rock, coal and sand and such) tend to have "cheak" rubber at and below the waterline on the shoulder of the tug. That's because when loaded a heavy barge may only be 1 foot above the water, and the hard shearline of the barge can do a lot of damage to the hull of the tug. Most tugs will also have tires on the bulwarks (the flat area above the deck) to protect from rakes of a barge or ship. Tires can be used whole bolted/chained to the side flat against the bulwarks or hull. Or they can be cut and folded and smooshed together like an accordion. This will be mostly around the bow and back to the shoulder. The folded tires grab really good and not only protect the tug providing a cushion, but they also provide grip when pushing a barge so you can slide a barge one way or another when lining up against the dock/terminal. It looks like the tug in the video is a Damen tug (Netherlands based, but they build all around the world). One of the tugs I skipper is a Damen. I also skipper other "west coast" tugs here in BC.

[@AKTINESfilms]

Thank you Chris for your accurate comment 👌

[@hughvane]

Supreme irony - the onshore guys with all the headspace in the world wear protective helmets, whereas the onboard engineer, having to stoop frequently to avoid head contact with steel, wears nothing but ear muffs.
