Tug I used to work on was a steam tug, 17 tonne pull. I massive amount of labour was taken to sustain that pull too! Two boilers & 6 furnaces to stoke, the crew of 15 was seldom idle. During the annual harbour "tug race" we were quite happy to be cruising at 15kts in light swell and nil wind holding a stead 180psi of steam. We were quickly overtaken by the harbours newest tug - going astern no less - at quite a pace. Those modern voith propulsion systems are amazing in the amount of power they deliver and the maneuverability!

I'm 75 and this makes me wish I could do it all over again and go to the sea. Simply beautiful.

Was involved with a Bollard test years ago. A sudden engine surge ripped the Samson post off the deck an threw it 500m through the air. It was found a week later on another dock.

I love this vessel, it`s the first that can pull my mother in law into the sea from the beach.

We've done bollard test on the Port of Jebel Ali during the early 1980's. The vessels are GC 306 , 7 and 8 . They're all powered Cats and Mirless Blackstones. We've done both the pull and side thrusters. By the way GC stands for Gulf Cobla ( costain / blakenvoort ). The company built the Jebel Ali port. Watching your video brings back a lot of good memories in Dubai. The GC vessels are split hopper barges all built in the Netherlands just like I'll make a guess here Alp Striker is . This video is taken some where in South Korea I would also guess. And in Korea I remember one have to leave ones shoes outside the door if you enter one of those very welcoming houses. Good luck guys, Von Voyages.

I love how the X-Bow design performs in classy water just like my row boat.

Well in all my years... I never knew how breathtaking a Bollard pull test could be. Now what would be the music score for a anchor brake test?

Gorgeous vessel

that music though LOL

I love this, my only question is who would dislike this video. Most beautiful ship I’ve ever seen. Let me see more pull!

loved every second of this video

I don’t know anything about ships but this is a beauty and a beast!

Thank you Teekay Corporation for this post.

Great tug job.

Good advert/commercial. I'm convinced. I want one.

I've always wondered about these DP2 vessels that have 2x bow thrusters of small size plus a retractable azimuth thruster in the bow. It gives great station-keeping in normal situations, but in the event of a worst case failure the vessel would be reduced to a single small bow thruster. With 2x 1500kw thrust in the bow it should have great redundancy.

It's nice that this tug doubles as a fire boat. Just look at those two massive red fire monitors on top of the bridge wings.

Love that pre-dreadnought style bow.

The pipes 🙌🔥

What a beautifull vessel

Brilliant video, who shot it?

Where can i buy mine? i think, i also have a coupon somewhere here !

Beautiful boat.

Now that's a cool boat. I could get all 42 members of the fishing club on that thing.👍

Потрясающе!!!

Beautiful video, just the right length, would really like to see the interior of the vessel.

Wowwwwww.... I love it, cool... I am seafarer too.... Someday, hope to experience in that kind of ship.... 😍

Wow phenomenal and extraordinary power

Very nice Pull

1. How long did it travel to the bollard? 2. Why did it have to pull the bollard?

Very pretty, but does it have work?

Omg, I think they went the drawing up side down!

I judt love the shape of that bow so different

Do they have discounts for seniors.?

I need help to solve a problem, I have to find a way to calculate the maximum bollard load that I use here at the shipyard. Does anyone have any ideas?

Are they trying to make the wharf longer?

Grandios. 👍

How to maintain your ship heading in maximum pull ? When we did this, the ship tend to sway and start listing

Very good video and a truly amazing vessel. A bit too much music though.

Have you a blueprint drawings of this ship?

cool looking and powerful 💪💪💪💪

Does that vessel have Z-drives or Voith Schneider propulsion?

immensamente bello , bravi , mi fate venire i brividi, vorrei essere li con voi

wow , this would make a great crabbing boat

What's with the comma placement in the values?

I saw this tug was on Bintan waterfront 3 may 2023

The Dutch can built beautiful ships like this one shall we call it the BEAST ?

Yeah the one and only real shipdesign natural!

Main engines fuel capacity is 2747 MT and aux. generators have 300MT.

I love the music. Who is the artist or name of the song please...

how are two engines coupled to one shaft? I wonder how many know how immense the ships structure has to be, to stop the winches ripping out

Wow if the rope snap she will 0-60 3.5 seconds.

No entendí. El barco estaba jalando la isla???

Good video and excellent photography

How much BHP this vessel?

I've worked on these vessels.

3:16 People standing in line with the line during the test?!

That is what I call a tool for the job, Bieuteful ship .

A question, what is the purpose of that bollard they just tested?

why are people standing on the opposite side of the pull? waiting for a cable to break?

Why is it trying to tow a harbour out to sea?

...The Mighty and Heroic ALP Guard to the rescue at the Suez Canal!

👌👌👌

whats that good for?

Music is so exaggerated. Like the vessel saves the world from extra terrestrials.

Love ❤️ so

The recycled deck is what sold it for me.

💗

I pulled a bollard cycling, couldn't wear lycra for two weeks.

Hello from st. Petersburg.

Why would they do this operation? I don’t understand because the doch is not going to move.

This marvelous boat helped unclogged Suez Canal!

I had a little pull to this video.

新潟で作られた奴や！ made in niigata japan!

what is the deal with the bow

309 tons force. 3:29 video

I’ve had a bollard pull

How did they measure the pulling force?

what the music please!!?

alp striker shold relley be at the sues canal at the moment

I know nothing about ships, this was in my suggested, I have no idea what’s going on... video says it’s a tug but it appears to be flooring it while attached to a land anchor???? I do not understand why there is a land anchor or why this beautiful ship is giving it a tuggy tug....

wow.... i wuna own 1...i will name him... kopu....

where are they base out of ???

There were 23 earthquakes recorded around the world at the precise moment of this test!

How come bollard pull is measured in Tonnes not Mega Newtons (MN) Or Tonnes-Force? (T-f)

I am going to build a rc scale model of this tug.

Send is to sues?? Enter the canal at cairo

Not sure what that video was about??

Adagio in D minor is the new Pachelbel's Canon. Nice boat though. The Magne Viking is also worth a look.

I have dreams, to join on the ship..

I wonder "what will this ship do?"

I would like to live on this for the rest of life on earth. Whats it cost? 40 million?

Cool boat, Dudes. However, you somewhat lost the chance for a narrative when you had not narration. The titles were informative, but, I don' know, somebody telling us a few facts and figures would have been nice.

350 mt fuel cap ?? Forgot a '0' I guess ...

why is the front shaped like that?

2:23 already damaged?

My AHTS was 324 mt 😅 24,000 hp

Video starts at 3:16, but there is no explanation of how the test is performed or view of measurements.

Strongest tug in the world 24.000 pk (4 engines) pull 309 ton. ALP Striker

what the music?
