I do love the thrumming sound of those big Diesel engines.

Would love to know exactly what the controls are doing. Is one pitch and the other vectoring? Is the throttle shown in the inset?

Nice to see one of the old tugs! The new ones are so much more powerful but I like the classic look of this one.

Is that a split hull dredge moored around the 5:30 mark? Love the videos of the tugs. The engines sound incredible.

+Diesel and Iron Yes that is a split dredge indeed :)

Would I be wrong in guessing that there are two propellers(turntables)? Also Looking at the Control-Panel as I see it; Occasionally a button upper left of the wheel is pressed. What does it do? Winch hydraulic motors perhaps? Last question: Is it possible to push in opposing directions at the same time? ie If a tug were were along side and a long ship were being blown by wind to crush the tug against the dock; Could it push water toward the ship and the dock thereby separating them? With two rotors, perhaps I would expect perhaps but with one? Could the rotors starve each other of water? Thanks for your time and good video.
@ShippingHarbors8 жыл бұрын
+David Oxland You are correct ! There are 2 Voith Schneider Units in this tug. The button is the communication between pilot/tug. It's not possible to set the propellers in opposite directions, the rudder controls both units at the same time. In the situation you describe the effect of both props pushing outside will have the same result as both pushing to 1 side. If it would be possible to put them both to the opposite direction they would starve eachother indeed. There will not be enough waterflow in the small space between both props to 'feed' them water :)

Very good videos, the sound of the engines coming throw those exhaust is so relaxing ... It has got ABC engines like the 7200 hp tug, right ?
@ShippingHarbors9 жыл бұрын
Tyconniendu59 Hello, no this tug 'only' has 2x 1450hp ABC 6Cyl. A huge difference to the 7200hp ones :)
@Tyconniendu599 жыл бұрын
Shipping/Harbors Ok, but this is still ABC engines :D Huge difference in sound between the 12 cylinder engine and the 6 cylinder engine :o

Amazing video. It seems you have a precise control of the tug. Is that because this tug is using the Voith system ?

What do the levers and the wheel control? I take it one is forward and reverse and the other left and right?
@noah92419 жыл бұрын
Each of the levers control a different engine, so he can control both of them. The wheel is for the rudder, to turn
@ShippingHarbors9 жыл бұрын
Noah Timmer Correct ! The wheel however also controls the same propellers as the levers do, but this is for steering. So the levers control forward/astern pitch, and the wheel controls port/starboard pitch.

How is the main engine RPM controlled? I presume it's not linked to the levers?
@ShippingHarbors9 жыл бұрын
The rpm is controlled with buttons, they are just outside the picture :)
@helidan55369 жыл бұрын
Shipping/Harbors Ah right, got ya! Are the engine speeds preset?
@ShippingHarbors9 жыл бұрын
On the tug in the video they are preset yes. 500rpm (idle/starting rpm), 600,700,750,800,850,900. On this video you can see the rpm getting lowered at 4:34 marker. The buttons are under the lever controls
@helidan55369 жыл бұрын
Shipping/Harbors Many thanks for clarifying that! I assume there is no need for slipping clutches or gearboxes to reduce the voith units input shaft speed? My fathers last two tugs had telegraph positions where the clutches would slip and then would lock up fully.
@ShippingHarbors9 жыл бұрын
Deiniol Pook There is in fact a clutch build in the shaft, but i don't know the english name. We call it (free translated) turbo-clutch. It's meant for safety when the propeller gets locked (by a morring line or so). The clutch will then start to slip preventing enginedamage. But in normall conditions this will never slip.
