When I worked at Seaspan in Vancouver years ago, one of their tugs got pinched between the warf and a wood chip barge. All the windows in the wheelhouse 2ere popped right out of their frames and the tug itself was squeezed permanently together by more than a foot.

I helped build one of those tugs for Foss, back in the day... I saw this video and thought that that tug was a expensive camel!😂 Edit: The reason he can't move is that he's tied on the front, once the stern hits that dock, there ya go! Those tugs are some of the most maneuverable tugs in the world due to their propulsion. Instead of a propeller, they have 2 rotating sets of paddles that change pitch during rotation to give thrust in 360°. Pretty cool, but very complicated wiring.

@katieverheggen146 Жыл бұрын

No they don't. Most tugs rely on thrusters using a sort of steering prop. Voight & Schneider makes these paddle arrangements (these technical terms are hard to translate :# ). In my country, it's even the case that neither one of those holds the top spot. That belongs to the fixed prop behind a rudder. Anyways, guess that's enough geeking out for a little while :)

@@katieverheggen146 thanks for the comment. That is your country, wherever that is. It's hard to tell somebody who built these tugs, that I'm wrong. There is no thruster or jet pump on this type of boat.

@@brucelytle1144 The Netherlands, that would be. And to be fair, you're right. However seeing how and where the prop wash presents i felt like it's safe to assume that this tug is using azipods. This comes from my experience on actual (albeit inland) tugs. One argument you could make, and rightfully so, is that assumptions are no good. So, i just found a page by Nichols Brothers Boat Builders on Delta Catheryn. Delta Catheryn (30x12 meters) is a tug with two 3400HP caterpillars coupled to Rolls Royce Z drives (so moving pods). That's good for some 94 tonnes of bollard pull. So i guess just because you've built boats that use V&S doesn't mean that it's safe for you to assume either.

@resqdiver1 3 ай бұрын

If I’m correct, these are Z-drive tugs that have 2 stern pods with conventional propellers that turn 360 degrees independently and give the pilot amazing control and flexibility in terms of ship handling and dynamic positioning. @katieverheggen146 , a Voight-Schneider also has amazing versatility but is a much different technology. It’s a single drive in a caged “carousel” on the bottom of the keel, much more forward towards the bow that spins at a constant speed with multiple controllable pitch vanes that divert the thrust laterally in whichever direction is needed. A brilliant design! Hope this helps.🙏😊

What would you tug caps have preferred if you'd been caught in this situation: Azipod or screws? By the way, how could this be happening; a bad wind, bad cruise ship cap't, or just bad luck? Answer to my 1st question would depend on how those ladies looked who took this video.

@nigelw598 Жыл бұрын

@Liam In answer to your question. An experienced tug captain would not be caught in this situation regardless of the propulsion systems in use. Whether if a Tug had a single screw, twin screw or ASD (azimuthing stern drives - Azi pods) it makes little difference. An experienced tug captain on those drive systems should be able to perform all manoeuvres to assist that ship into its berth. Doing this, we often work in close quarters to sections of wharf when spinning ships in a port. But you have to know when to tell the Pilot that things are getting dangerous and you have the authority to get the hell out of there well before this happens. You have to speak up assertively and give the pilots plenty of warning of what’s happening at your end of the ship. The tug in this video was lifting off (pulling) until it ran stern first into the wharf? If you put “Delta Cathryn Incident” into a search, then you can read the accounts of most involved. I wouldn’t wish this on any of my fellow colleagues. I hope the Captain here learnt from it and got another chance to continue. It’s the best job in the world as far as I’m concerned. In 25 years on the tugs I’ve never once thought “Urgh I’ve got to go to work”. It’s a challenge every day. As I often remind my crew when looking out the bridge windows on the way to a job. “Another day in paradise!”. It’s the best office you will find. 👍👍🍻
