This most certainly was NOT about life inside a tugboat. They barely showed the inside.

Thank you for talking about TUG boats 😊 You said tourists industry. At beginning of video. The amazing thing in the cruise ship industry now A days is the power system that the mega cruise ship use. The bow thrusting system and full rotation pods that new cruise ships have. They don't require a TUG assist when docking or leaving ports. They can do full rotation close to docks so both sides of cruise ship passage get full view of citys, or ice flow movement.
