Towing a barge

Taking barge from tow to pushing gear

[@dallonhorman6250]

Holy crap the internet algorithm is crazy. This is the tug I’m the engineer on now. Coral Coast tug and Cement Transporter 5300 barge. Owned by Dann Marine Towing.

[@johnmoran3754]

Watch and learn kiddies. That is old school tugging by two of the best guys I ever sailed with. Thanks Capt Greg and Chief John.

[@matthewbilich9979]

To the ppl saying "No PFD's".... the guys on deck were wearing float coats...

[@pjneslo8979]

Great video, I could watch videos like this all day.. Thanks for showing Capt

[@jjosephm7539]

Those Kevlar push wires are so much easier than steel wires

[@SD-yb5fx]

I thought there was going to be an apart 2. Great video and thank you so much for not playing music.

[@Quadflash]

Pretty smooth transition. That crew and skipper must have done that job a whole bunch of times. Impressive!

[@workingatsea]

Interesting way of breaking tow. Thanks for sharing!

[@stevee7260]

Ahrrrrrr the good ole days. Sounds you only hear there. Thanks Capt.

[@tjcollins9318]

been there done that (( it is nice and easy )) that barge is so nicely set up for that :)/// the barge I have done where never set up like that!

[@oldwillie313]

They have a plumber on board!

[@martynbuzzing3327]

Great working video. I’m just amazed at the crew wearing sneakers around all the steelwork and wires..🤔

[@russiannorth2440]

great. thanks. interesting. Thanks. Watch people sail on the deck of an icebreaker at -20C kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4vbqKJolK-WopY

[@bearbon2]

Give this crew a bottle of Windex and a squeegie. Those windows need cleaning bad!

[@billysmith5721]

my father Jack Hemingway was a McAllister skipper. Dad passed in 1977. my grandfather was a skipper circa 1900 to 1930

[@gfroese4799]

Now that brings back a lot of old memories . Tugging is a young mans game unless your the guy in charge .

[@kennethmarlow2731]

Been there done that and to old to do it now😁

[@ibelieveyou2066]

I know trainers/sneakers/whatever,are more comfortable.I see it in the factory,where I work.If you ever injure yourself,completely by accident,no fault of your own.The first question that will be asked is:'did you have safety-shoes on?'Right there is were your 'accident',becomes your own fault.

[@Scruffers2011]

Dude, you snatched the wire

[@muhammadathallahmubarak214]

God job captain very nice .

[@spukduk5632]

love the focus on safety. beanie, jeans and jogging shoes lmfao

[@sereg4g448]

Nice vid,I usually worked on container ship or dry cargo. ⚓🚢

[@tommypetraglia4688]

Love the _Pssshhhhh_ of the pneumatic throttles

[@kristensengonecamping1804]

poor boss cant afford proper safety shoes for his employees

[@tuglife5737]

Love the notch!

[@dmc31405]

Nice job. What company is this?

[@tisia7]

+dmc31405 Dann Marine Towing

[@pixelbender896]

+tisia7 outta Florida? I was just docked next to the Shannon. met chief/mate fritz hell of a fuy

[@tisia7]

+nik c out of Chesapeake City, MD

[@tjcollins9318]

I done see why y'all didn't go with indepented push wires on the tow line. we only do it like that if we have a single drum winch? P.s. please write back I would like to learn something.

[@tisia7]

I don't work on tugs any more. I'm on a deep sea since I got my unlimited mate license.

[@glenkelley6048]

SAY NO TO CRACK'

[@ramankumar-rl6cs]

how many GRT of this barge

[@blake.8982]

The crack action is real LMAO

[@kman-mi7su]

Yes, I thought maybe he got confused and thought it was a plumbing video>

[@metalsmyth6945]

do all of those barges have a tug boat shaped indent in them? ive never noticed that before

[@grahamwalker2740]

Metals myth that’s an articulated tug and barge setup some are flat and used with flat front push boats. That’s a specific set up used where the barge is notch so the boat can slide in the notch and mate up

[@robertdarrow6684]

Back in the day most of the barges on the NY barge canal did. Very few tows unless it was more than one barge.

[@alskdjfhg3712]

Sounds like a Detroit Diesel running somewhere

[@jamesdillard3583]

My little tugboat at Detroit 671 and I wish I could find someone would help me get back into the water again.

[@rajendraambhore7769]

Good video sir aur tug boat ka video banayye sir

[@foppo100]

That tug could do with a good clean up.That rust on the deck, not a good envirioment to work in.

[@kameimyaraujo1079]

Good old Steve Cook still working on that barge hun?!

[@tisia7]

+Kameimy Araujo He does

[@bangteeuh]

I like this.. tug boat pusher 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@MrCurtisass]

is he pushing or pulling ???

[@daniellapointe2590]

MrCurtisass towing Astern at the beginning of the video and pushing at the end

[@gregbolitho9775]

now thats something i hadn't seen before, thanks, keep up the good work, but clean the windows please.

[@davidgallagher171]

Say no to crack.

[@josephking4128]

Some narrative would be helpful.

[@robertboykin1828]

I had to strap the tow alongside to control it. This is fine if the channel is wide for other traffic.

[@captainjustin74]

The barge should not be passing the tug and that's just a bad choice of places for a unit that side to but fucken about! Capty drop the damn wire get in the notch before ya kill someone! And Welcome to the big city bud! Dan Towing aka discount towing

[@jjosephm7539]

Justin Shellington I would do it similar to this. The cement barge is manned. Pass a stopper line and a bridle retriever. This cuts down on work later. The area appears to be Gravesend. Welcome to NY.

[@arnelsalaysay8558]

32mm cable rope thats a kill when you get hit by that..

[@foppo100]

No lifejackets .Trainers by the deck crew who runs this outfit?

[@morrisrdfarms9233]

Float coats

[@dirkdiggler1242]

@ 8:50 tug crack

[@chad1able]

The CT 5300. That would be Dann Marine. I used to tow/ push that barge on the Tug Treasure Coast. The reason I would be weary of posting is because no one is wearing any PFD’s or Safety equipment during breaking/making tow. JC Dann would frown upon this if he saw it because of that. We had Kevlar push gear on Treasure. Wire sucks.

[@tisia7]

I wouldn't worry about it because it was years ago))) I think all or most of the crew is not with company any more.

[@chasespears4179]

They are wearing float coats!

[@Tsalinger]

Those are float coats moron.

[@Fiberglasser03]

I live 10 minutes from the yard in Chesapeake City and one of the sons lives across the river from my house. What tug?

[@tisia7]

Coral Coast

[@captainjustin74]

Travis B the tug is pulling the barge then pushing its called remaking tow and they are not great at it but hey extra points for plumbers crack and maybe drive the boat instead of filming your sorry ass

[@markduncan6690]

Real Nice!!! "The Plumber's Crack!!!!

[@metalsmyth6945]

yeah what do you call someone that works on a tug boat anyway? deckhand crack? seaman crack?

[@ralphaverill2001]

"Plumber's Butt" is a landlubber term. At sea we use "Bosun Butt". The condition is usually permanently cured by a single surprise application of ice-cold sea water resulting from a wave coming through the scuppers. The other deck crewman apparently is experienced in that regard. I'm sure those were hard-toed safety sneakers on those crewman.

[@kenprevatt1267]

Lol they were not lying about the crack .. lol

[@johnwheater4412]

No one understands what that crew goes through to make that happen.

[@kaizersoze]

12:08 is this a keemstar reference?

[@scorpen1014]

Muy mala maniobra.... Cero seguridad, remolque de banda a banda.... Cuekkkk

[@tommypetraglia4688]

Synthetic push cables. Broke-in '89 and wrestled a lot of wire rope

[@tugboatamerica]

Wheres the steel toed boots

[@12345678981441]

No safety gear whatsoever.

[@steelem422]

What are the air purging valve sound from?

[@jjosephm7539]

The throttles are air controlled. They use air to operate a slave cylinder connected to the engine throttles. There are usually 3 places where they are located- the wheel house, upper house, and stern. You push an air button to change positions. Sounds like Mathers.

[@steelem422]

J josephm nice thanks

[@mrabrasive51]

No hard hats,pfd,or steel toe shoes!🤔

[@19fortnitecard.12]

yea, and?

[@markduncan6690]

Is this barge under control??? Should it not be directly behind the tug (with some clearance) ?????

[@user-wq8rg3ix8o]

mark duncan g

[@captainjustin74]

You don't have so much as a clue lol

[@ScooterZn]

He is asking questions, not making statements. He obviously wants to know.

[@jerematthewjohnson223]

i did this is exactly how it goes yes ineeabie happens rub -dub-dub

[@truethought2581]

Cmon. That's rt when I turned it off. Cmon

[@coldspring624]

10 bucks an hr and all the water you can drink

[@operatorjeffdeathstar7759]

Nice running shoes you clowns...no underwriters gonna like that...

[@rusty7720]

No place for those dipshit shoes.

[@bryanyoung2963]

Somebody should have told the guy with the camera there's nothing on the Floor to see it's not hard focus on the boat your towing or it might sneak up on you

[@TheSoloAsylum]

I have pulled that shit with a jon boat

[@thats_my_comment]

HURRY...!! get out the crack pipe because they're plenty to go around lots and lots of craaaaaack....

[@mannygarcia1810]

Was enjoying this until the "crack" moment.

[@bigwheelsturning]

Yes, a lot of "crack".

[@ralphfujiwell8715]

Incompetent and unsafe mate & crew

[@mikeh2006]

I can't comment on the competence as I have never worked on a boat, only to say that I noticed the lack of safety wear and unusual choice of places to stand at times, in my opinion, which isn't worth much here. However I found it very interesting seeing how it all works.

[@workingboat]

Tugboat arse eh !

[@mymusings1293]

No hardhats or steel toed boots. Hm.

[@1dogpobo]

for what?

[@michaelherrick3065]

For the Windex and squeegee...

[@TheSoloAsylum]

what the fuck is a hard hat going to do...

[@xxch4osxx]

Exactly what I thought. No need for hardhats there. @@TheSoloAsylum

[@Arykperry]

Steelys I get it but a hard hat ......... well you sound like a dumbass !!!

[@ZacVaper]

The man likes handsome Alex. ♥ Silly semen!

[@paulpaul5606]

But crack

[@jstbig1]

Crack is whack.......

[@witeboy001]

no safety!!!!

[@16161645]

this is a suck ass company,if you want to call it a company. they turn over faster than my x

[@raeanker3078]

Dirty windows and more crack than east LA .

[@johnfinch1377]

No "PPE"? Use the bridle for the stern line after the bow line out, they sure are taking there time. They would not be slow like this in a tight channel or going up the Mississippi River!!!!!

[@jackblack9208]

John Finch , no doubt. We do this on the mississippi just below Algiers point. It's fricken scary every time. And more times than not it doesn't go smoothly. And almost every time the Natchez steamboat is right there. It's like they see us coming and decide to come get in the way. Definitely have to have ppe on and got to get done quick. Especially in a high river like it has been lately

[@camrobinson5513]

Don't forget about that upstream eddy if your hanging tight @Algiers Point

[@johnmcgovern3806]

without any commentary as to what is being done I think the caption is drunk

[@16161645]

the worst tug boat company to work for. I think there color s, are. yellow and blue? They little over 5 for engineer. 200 for deck. if they try to put you on a four man boat or , the old 1960s cement barge s . RUN FOR YOUR LIFE. NO JOKE.

[@fellspoint9364]

Hillbilly deluxe! Rag ass outfit. Beware!

[@jamesdillard3583]

I miss my little tugboat. I had a thirty foot Jensen tugboat name the crystal and I was putting a new bottom on her and ran out money so I ask my mother to help me with it and she told me yes one day then the next day she said no. I wish I could find someone who would enjoy helping me get it done because my father brought it from the Astoria Oregon.

[@ch-sqpopay9949]

well, i gotta say. our european ships are way better painted 🙃

[@philipkapadia1852]

probally hasa azmuth prupultion system, I don't realy like azimuths I prefere the rudders

[@captainjustin74]

Philip VS Drums a barge has got no propulsion or rudders or anything like that it is just along for the ride

[@mikeg7843]

That old ass tug has rudders. Not many Azmuth propulsion systems on a towing vessel. Ship assist have more of those systems

[@camrobinson5513]

Look like foriegn flag op to me

[@jangoossens6927]

Knap werk
