The lady speaks on that frequency that goes in one ear and out the other.

A few notes on origins: At <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="2">0:02</a> the vessel Alp Striker and at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="333">5:33</a> the Alp Keeper are both designed by Ulstein Design & Solutions AS in Norway, thus not designed in the United States, as claimed in the video on the second. You can see from afar that this is a vessel designed in Norway, e.g. by its distinct X-Bow. At <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="61">1:01</a> the Esvagt Innovator, with all the huge Turkish flags, is another Norwegian originated ship, designed by Havyard Ship Design in Norway. And at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="371">6:11</a>, the Canadian AHTS-vessel (built as Ice class 1B, strengthened to class 1A) Horizon Arctic also has Norwegian origin, designed and built for Bourbon Offshore Norway AS by Vard Brattvaag, on the west coast of Norway. Sailed in Norwegian waters for seven years, and just recently (2023) relocated to Canada. At <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="559">9:19</a> the Olympic Energy is another Vard designed and built vessel, a Platform Supply Vessel (not a tugboat) of b.y. 2012 at Vard Aukra Norway, which origins wasn't mentioned. At <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="658">10:58</a> the Maersk Master is an AHTS-vessel designed by Salt Ship Design AS in Norway, and built by Kleven in Norway. And Skandi Iceman at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="719">11:59</a> is yet another vessel by Vard in Norway (...and those 7 are just a few, as I just skipped quickly through this video). Demographics: if you study this in more detail, you will see that a surprisingly large share of these ships (including all 7 ships mentioned) are all designed, built and/or outfitted - not only in Norway - but more specifically by the population of less than 250.000 people of Møre, a small geographic region immediately north of the west cape of Norway. The shipbuilders are descendants of the most ocean-crossing people of the Viking age. (Etymology of Møre: from Old Norse, similar to the word 'mare' in Latin, means ocean).

Such maritime technological prowess can only be applauded and broadly praised.Countries building beautiful, powerful tug boats 🚢 of this kind should have crossed the line of metal industry's skilfulness,proficiency and potentially, nice content😎👍

I have chartered a number of these vessels for our rig move operations in the North Sea and they are truly wonderful machines to work with. The crews are of such a high standard, they really bring the best out of the vessels. 👍

Beautiful ships . My Grandson worked on rescue and recovery vessels on the North Sea for a couple of years. They were no where near as large as these great ships, tho in there own right are of fantastic design too.

Impressive! These innovations redefine what's possible.

All of these ships are incredible feats of engineering. Amazing to see how far we have come.

”Dearest miss Pette” Sounded like she was reading the start of a letter or diary for us

Nice video, but sad with the computer generated comments... .....with a lot of faulty information. Most of the vessels have Norwegian origin, either by design, build, order or ownership. The x-bow design is Norwegian, and as some in the comments feels it looks unstable, the design has clear advantages in rough sea and is absolutely not unstable. There is so much weight in the keel, that these ships is probably the correct place to be if hit by a tsunami or the "hundred-year-swell".

fantastic ships. would love to see the engine rooms.

few things.. this video is almost copyed from user Top10 Files's video 1 year ago just added some extra information and its also not correct, as you atleast missing 2+ bigger AHTS. this video is ment to be the 10 biggest "AHTS" Anchor handling tug supply vessel. according to the title and not "offshore suppourt vessels" Dearest miss pette is a PSV - Platform supply vessle, not an AHTS, an PSV can't do anchour handling as it dont have the equipment for it, its also far from big.. its 80 meter long and 16 meter wide. I work on a psv that is 96 meter long and 20 meter wide... and that is a normal size psv arround here. Blue Figher is also a PSV, not an AHTS... Olympic Energy is also a PSV, not an AHTS. And i also wondering where you get the bollard pull numbers for the PSV's, it dont stand on eider shipyard site or company site... PSV ships is not used normally for towing other ships unless it is an emergency situation. A few AHTS you did not mention is KL Saltfjord that have 397mt, and the biggest is actually Island Victory with 477mt. Edit: and btw, Ulstein Design & Solutions AS is not in United States, it is in Ulsteinvik Norway

correction these are really not tugs they are offshore supply vessels and yes they do anchor handling for drilling rigs and they do tow sometimes, tugs on the other hand are different animals together they must have rubber or rope bumpers all around and they help in docking and towing mostly in ports and canals and they have fire fighting packages in case of fires

I love the fact that I don't know much of anything about ship design, because I'm certain that if I _DID_ I wouldn't have the same sense of wonder when I see the myriad strange shapes that different ships require, for the tasks they perform. THESE ships don't look _stable_ to me! Beautiful to see! 🙂

These ships are straight out of a Chris Foss sketchbook. Awesome.

Thanks for this detailed explanation. Very helpful

Did anyone else get the impression that she was just reading lists of data off a list and had absolutely no idea what most of the acronyms actually meant? Fine for those who already know. But if you want to learn about these ships, a bit more explanation of what things mean and how things work would be very welcome. But I guess that would involve some research on the part of the film maker and there is next week's video to be got out....

Those are the most beautiful ships 🚢 ever built

Ulstein Design and Solutions is based in Ulsteinvik Norway, not Usa

I've ridden much larger ships than these in heavy weather including a typhoon. I recall going forward inside the ship in a big swell was difficult, even hazardous. When the bow pitched up my knees would buckle from the gs (I was young and fit btw but even still the forces were severe). When the bow pitched down I would be left hanging in the air. Sometimes I even had to put my hands up and push off the overhead to prevent hitting my head. This was on a 20,000 tons ship. Further aft there was much less vertical motion. On all these OSVs ( "tugs" ) I see the bridge and crew accommodations crowded as far forward as possible. I cannot even imagine trying to work on one of these in any kind of big swell. Watch standing would be tough and tiring. Unless they use hammocks or there was some way to strap yourself securely into a bunk sleeping would be impossible.

no offence but if you knew what you were talking about you wouldnt be calling OSV's and AHTS's "tug boats" and you wouldnt be claiming that they help tankers and container ships to berth in port. Different beasts altogether!!!

I really like the AHTS ships there versatility is great and the look awesome. Would love to work on one.

She is butiful, love the modern design lines of this vessel, so nice .... Thom in Scotland.

Enjoyed the video start/finish..Excellent IOM(UK)

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="504">8:24</a> Notice the size of the spool on that crane, 3000+ meters of cable.

This is my world thank you very much,

If you don't get sea sick working on GIANT TUG would be a good career move.

Awesome, thanks for this first class video.

Si d'accordo. Bellissime e potenti. Ma nessuno mai come l' ABEILLE FLANDRE e il suo equipaggio! Comandante CARLOS RESPECT! ❤

FFS Why cant ye get the BASIC information right. So many of the facts on this video are WRONG

these are proper support vessels.

The Normand Ranger anchor handler vessel owned by solstad is a big powerful vessel with an impressive bollard pull

wow such progress and comfort and utility boggles my memories of stevedores of old

In the common usage, tug boats are used for pulling and pushing. If a boat only has a pulling usage, then it is a tow boat not a tug.

I work aboard the horizon arctic have been for last 3+ years im actually on the ship now as i type this message and i can tell you some of the information is incorrect 25kts top speed?? More like 17kts maxed out all engines screaming.

Why am i watching a fkcing tugboat video at 12am on a sunday

Good info! Thank you!

The Presque Isle is a ITB(integrated tug/barge) that runs on the Great Lakes. The massive tug is a formidable ice breaker when separated from its 1000 foot barge. It is the only ship of its kind on the Great Lakes.

Kapal suplay yang sangat canggih.dan besar

Such Badass 🚢 ships 🚢 so beautiful

Thank you for the good video!!! I have wondered how some of these ships work in the real world…. They are an amazing machine!!!

I can't believe you didn't include the Abeille Bourbon!

Am I alone finding thos ship so beutiful ?

Wow awesome buy 😊❤👍💯

You never talk and give details about the under water propeller systems, and yet you go on and on about how powerful are these vessels. It simply means you lack the technical qualification, and thus the capability to talk about the powers of these vessels. Please stop. Go talk about fashion attire instead, or something else.

How many of these ships were not based in Norway? 4?

Nice video, thanks for posting!

excellent video

Maersk Master nor Skandi Iceman are not RoRo ships FFS !

The data for Dearest Ms Petite is off. She is faster at 15kts, and the power you stated is the auxiliary power. Didn't cross check the commentary on the other vessels.

Increíble!! Me encanta el video!

I will film these soon.

Beautiful

In the old days, the best and strongest tug boats came from the Netherlands. Our government sold it all.....

This is why I don't get anything done. It's incredible the things human beings have made from raw elements taken out of the Earth

I am having one built for me .The Skandi Iceman 11 ..its now 3/4 completed in Denmark ..its got a 350 ton bollard pull , icebreaking hull . giant crane ..

AT <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="381">6:21</a> YOU SEE THE OCEAN GATE TITAN SUBMERSIBLE

These ARE NOT tugboats. Damn.

Kapal yang sangat kokoh dan megah sekali,, saya sangat senang melihat kapal-kapal yang besar❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉

Iot of wrong fact in this video

This video would have been awesome if the Narrator acutely knew the subject matter and didn't slaughter the names of the ships and the companies that run them. She has no knowledge on the subject of which she speaks and it's obvious. Ruined it for me.

Nothing look better than SMIT TUGS Zwarte Zee and London ,New York.

New type is experimental. I may design 'Tug yes hug'. Heavy duty engine, high performance power, go straight aviation, loading up, higher bridge, living decking, speeding knots, under sea radio communication, strong and hard head shape, digital panel, analogue zyro, port carriage, ton, fuel efficiency, various model, heading into fortune, general purpose, public transport, and then we should get to be passive. I will plan to do work on Tug yes hug. Turn head and go to do activities. Round, cutting eage, easy going, mid range, huge taskmaster, delivery time, back up ship, service area, reactive position, anti ship mine, etc Next time Good striding and safe capacity are our goals.

Worked on two of the vessel's introduced.

You might wish to explain what the 'DC electrical concept and variable RPM solution' is. Otherwise,people outside the industry won't have a clue what you are talking about. Given that you've posted your film on KZfaq,I presume it is for general consumption?

Totally cooli mon......

Norway shows the way

Alvarligt..! Är detta verkligen något folk betalar för att spela..?

Great video, had to cut it short due to Narrator. It would have been nice if she knew what she was talking about instead of reading from a script. And the annoying voice didn't help.

These are not tugboats, these are utility vessels. Huge difference. Also, what do you know about anything, being on the ocean is a man’s job.

There is a huge difference between tugs used to berth and unmoor ships in harbors, vs offshore support vessels (AHTS). Also none of the vessels shown in this video are Ro-Ro.

1. Alp Striker. 2. Skandi Iceman. 3. Horizon Arctic.

They forgot Russel Crowe and Tugger 🤦‍♂️🤣

SKANDI ICEMAN "Who's a pretty boy?"

I imagine Dearest Miss Petty has much more than three thousand kW.

Welcome to the nauctis or Fluctus etc….this is a KZfaq channel btw.

Correction it's not a tug boat .. . .tug boat can towing ship barged And possing a large vessel which particular in Docking .and Undocking ship from pier

Did you hear about the smit londen or rotterdam?

What has this to do with the most powerful tugs?

COMMENTATOR WAS GREAT!!

I’m not an English major. But English is the only language I speak. I hereby certify this heffa said every name incorrectly.

Coolstuff

nice ship...

I want one. But my wife won't let me get one. She doesn't understand

You should do something about the Loading Nauctis logo top right that is going off/on all the time. Felt that it was really annoying.

Kapal yang sangat besar dan bagus

Krachtige boten,maar ikzelf stam nog uit de tijd dat een schip er ook leuk mocht uitzien.

Alam Majnun...😢

So what do these cost to build and operate ?

Impressive.....

A job well done. That should put your minds at rest. NOW you can get down to other things. I bet you will be having a clear out now too. It is surprising how things accumulate over time ....C'est la Vie!! Good cruising!! John

Anyone see that one tugboat right at the start

Port Fourchon LA has the a lot of big vessels some run on hydrogen .

would love if you actually did your research, none of these were built outside of norway, and the design of these type of ships originate in norway.

This would have been a great video with a different (better) narrator.

I do not understand the metric numbers. Born and raised in the US.

Nice voice

Change the speaker

So true

For goodness sake, why do Narrators have to speak at the speed of sound. How does anyone have time to absorb the content?

They wear helmets - but I miss the muzzle
