@DonTruman 7 жыл бұрын

Seems that was one captain who really new his ship and the conditions. Knew how quickly he could get into position, knew he could fit into that space, knew he had the power to move the big ship, and do so quickly enough to avoid the collision, knew the effects of the wind and current, etc. Fail any one of those factors and he's part of the crash.

I always thought the tires were just to keep the boats from bumping and damaging, now I see why the added traction is important, without the tires for grip the boat would just glance off the smooth metal on metal simply wouldn’t work. Very cool.

This is the absolute opposite to a tug captain I encountered many years ago. While docking in Nassau, instead of coming alongside gently, the tug rammed us, missing the clearly marked tug spot by several feet and putting a 3-foot dent in the side of the ship. There are good and bad extremes in every profession. Anyway, I got a ride on the tug with our staff-captain to photograph the damage.

The tug seems to be the --Apollon-- Artemis, an icebreaking tug (1A1 ice class, breaks 0.8 meters of solid ice) operated by Alfons Håkans, built in Rauma Finland 1981, engines 2* Wärtsilä Vasa 8R22C, total 3,600 hp, Twin Aquamaster azimuthing propellers (facilitate good manouverability)
