Well at the least the duck is frolicking , unconcerned about the flurry of activity behind it. 😭 Nice vid!

For something like this a sock or two over the microphone helps with the wind noise.

Wow zie deze nu pas en gaaf weer en vast hard werken voor die sleepboot en koppie erbij voor de bemanning, alle respect wel, weer top video Captain.

Unbelievable !!! Si petit et si fort ces petits remorqueurs !!! 👀👍😎

Wind is straight at the bow, Zandvliet and Berendrecht Locks are positioned in almost Eastern/Western direction. Not accidentally I assume.

No stern tug? That must be a pilot with balls of steel! Either that or there must have been immense pressure from above to clear the lock.

Congratulations all, a nice feat indeed. Obviously this was possible because the wind was not blowing sideways or lateral to the ship but head onto the bows which created drag but not side shifting tendency. I see that at first the tug had a shorter hawser so that it could flit from one side to the other to have effective " steering" on the ship as quickly as possible, The high Inertia of the ship assisted a lot in this case and the fact that the anchoring point on the tug was somewhere near its centre of gravity, away from its rudder, made it all possible for the tug boat to steer its rear portion in the nimble manner it did . When I dealt with such situation on smaller yachts, I preferred to tow with my outboard powered small craft through tying the two bows to each other and then my towing boat with transom on which I had the outboard was leading the show, and I could steer so easily in reverse, with the outboard taking the leading transom hence the rest, to exactly where I wanted it to go. With a tow rope, attached to the transom one cannot tow effectively all under control, unless of course one had a couple of these Voith propellers distributed under the towing craft. enabling it to go sideways and turn on itself. Wonderful engineering these modern tug boats which can move and turn in all directions. Last year with my students we coupled two joysticks one in the front and the other at the back in line with the centre line of the ship and placed a small model ship linking both of them, When the model was moved as desired, ahead, astern, turn port and starboard, these were operating the two joysticks hence the four thrusters on the big ship accordingly in synchronism with the model ship which had another feature, extending in length through an unlocking device, one could operate any of the thrusters individually or together as needed. So one complex ferry could be operated with ONE hand on the model ship moving it as desired with the larger counterpart following suit.

There is no gale force mic setting. You’re good. That tug crew sure earned their pay.

Bloody heck this video is great.

Headphone users RIP

The little engine that could

Nice video, it took only 4 min after the release of the dock lines, tug cap got balls for sure !!!!

Ship is my home...sea is my playground... what a life

Impressive !

good stuff, good tug handling

Nice video!

Buen trabajo, gente de mar...(gracias "filmero" abrazo.)

Rosella is in reverse to annoy the thugboat.

Amazing video

And there I was thinking ship simulator got the tug all wrong. This has changed my mind. Tugs are all over the place pulling a heavy load from the bow.

It is MSC Rossella.

Power and skill of TUG

I love those voith tugs

What would be the depth under the keel through there??

My left ear enjoyed this

The duck (or sea bird of some sort) having a surf/bob-about at around 4:30 is pretty funny (just low of centre-left).

great fim well done..

Became tug captain you have to have big balll guys!!

That poor tug, and the "Rosella" wasn't even fully loaded!!!!!

Un trabajo fino.

Too windy for the drone? :)

The little tug that could. I think I read the bio to my kids when they were little .

Hard work!

Por que está tan turbulenta el agua ?? Por el barco o por el viento???

Is the ship named after the Rossella parrot?

Nice

Nice video, but I dont think the wind is 9-10 Beaufort. The ship wouldn't leave the port. Looks more 35-40 knots...

Looks more like a 7 or 8 rather than a 9 on the Beaufort scale.

Mega operação.

Schitterend!

Action starts at 2:39 of 6+ min video. Good job.

Good job🖒🖒🖒

keren banget kapalnya

little ones are forced to work )))

gaaf :) vandaag gaan biken, was stevig langs het kanaal :)

Er mocht nog wel een bij voor.

How this small boat can pull that large fully loaded ship ? Can anyone explain

I bet that warmed her up some lol

Furious water 🙄😬

weren 't you afraid that your camera would get hit by salted water, waves and all ?

i know ,this asd tug made in damen holandia

HEADPHONES WARNING!!!!!!!!!

Dangerous with one tug,but verry amazing.

leuk mooi

And your point is?

Looks like Antwerp

And for the guy filming.....stop eating bruine bonen.

Honestly thought it was a meme cause of that fucking ear rape

Is this Europoort?

Zubair Khan

Leaving the DOCK

I use a device called " wind cutter " works great go to hueyvets.com

Dude on the tub stand on it to see how much you can out of it before you send part's to the moon. Go big or go home. 😋😇🤗😁😉😊😏🙂☺🤗☺️

It doesnt look that bad from here The concrete is hardly wet

Or.....not🙄

With a little help from the ships motor all can happen

Nice video, horrible sound.

Insufficient bollard pull of tugboat.

🤣🤣🤣🤣..."Rosella".....illiterate....

I hate this sounds!!!

A smarter tug captain would have putout more tow line

It doesnt look that bad from here The concrete is hardly wet
