Had no idea a Tug boat crew lived onboard. I just assumed that because they are always staying in the littoral waters close to their port, they would just go home at the end of the day.

There are some companies that run "Day Boats". The guys are home until the phone rings. But the vast majority of us have to stay on the boat for the entire hitch.

I helped build that barge along with some of the best ship fitters, pipe fitters, welders, and painters (DS-305) in 2013 - 2014 in Orange Texas. It was designed by Bristol Harbor Group in Rhode Island. That is a 35,000 barrel (1,470,000 Gallon) Bunker Barge. It is built using 2,654,000 lbs of steel. Not only does the tug crew live on board, the barge crew lives on their vessel as well. It has living quarters in the deck house on the starboard side of the stern. Thanks Captain Tim. The boat is obviously designed by Entech, and was likely built in Florida by a company called St. Johns Shipyard.

Enjoyed your video Capt Tim. I served for 3.5 years on the US Army FS 313 moored at Pier 23 Tacoma, WA from Nov 1971 to Apr 1975. I was a 61B20, which a Senior Seaman. I was part of the helmsman rotation. The FS was 176 ft, twin GM V6 diesels making 500 hp each and she cruised at 13 knots. Before I mustered out of the WA Army National Guard I requested a letter documenting my time of service on the FS. I took that letter to the USCG in Seattle and obtained Z card as they were called back in the day. Never used my credentials for employment. 45 years later after receiving my Ordinary Seaman's credit I spent four months and more than $500 successfully renewing my OS credentials. I was going to get a deck hands job on a Hells Canyon tour boat but the regs had been changed removing the USCG certified crew. So only the skipper was required to be certified. Then I applied for a job on board the Alaska Marine Highway System out of Ketecikan. I was invited to be considered for a Steward's position on one of their boats but declined because it is a very remote area. I felt a bit homesick watching your video. It brought back many good memories. Many Thanks.

I've always been fascinated by the maritime industry. Being from Michigan, I've occasionally seen some decent freighters moving on along the Detroit River, and the Great Lakes. Also got to see a freighter navigate through the locks of Sault Ste. Marie. I probably could work in that industry, but I'll just stick with my little boat instead.

My father during 1938-1942 worked on a tugboat in the New York harbor, it was called "Mary". He worked in the engine room, and he enjoyed the unique sound that the engine produced. He mentioned working on the waterfront.

@TimBatSea4 жыл бұрын
So there are a few reasons why a barge is preferable to a smaller ship. It mostly comes down to money. A ship will have different Manning requirements than a barge. For example, a ship will need an entire crew and a barge needs none (fulltime). There are unmanned barges that have shore side tankermen that will only come in for the load or discharge. Most of our barges have two tankermen and although they do need a tankermen endorsement, they don't need a Captain's license or Engineer's license. Another advantage is that it make take 12 hours or more to pump off a load to a ship, and we can leave one barge at the ship working and go do two or three other jobs while that one is still discharging.

Wow, that's a pretty cool job. I think i'll go tug boat shopping now. Seriously, the tug Captains are really skilled professionals. I was watching two tugs on the Miami river bring a Haitian freighter out to Biscayne bay. One pulling from the bow and the other stern. I was pretty impressed by their steering skills yanking this ship down this narrow river, their tugs could spin 360 degrees standing still. Both tugs working together, really cool to watch.
