These southern push boat captains are amazing. This video was taken from the tower of the Warrior River Bridge (vertical lift bridge) in Alabama. One wrong move and there is going to be one hell of a mess to clean up. I hope you like the video because its the only worthwhile thing that came out of that trip.

Yep thats a Parker boat with a classic "H" pattern tow on the Black Warrior river. I ran that river for a few years with Florida Marine Transporters and its definitely a no joke river. they say if you can run the Black Warrior you can run anywhere though.

How dare you call it a push boat? That is a tow boat sir, even though it never tows, only pushes. I got in trouble on another site for pointing that out.

Im actually from Owensboro, KY myself. Not sure how familiar you are with towboating, but the crews come from all over. Usually meeting at their home port then travel to the boat together as a crew. The pilots on those Parker boats, are amazing to watch run the Black Warrior and Tenn-Tom. Thank you for the video, thats an awesome angle to show people how close we come to that bridge.

Слишком большая скорость,инерция состава велика,поэтому едва вписывается в каждый поворот,была бы осадка у барж побольше,не избежать касания грунта.
@captaindonau701
@captaindonau701 Год назад
Там осадка и так близка к максимальной. Он дал ход перед самым мостом, чтобы пройти между устоями. Потом сбавлять нельзя, потому что перестанет управляться, а в поворот надо вписаться.

can someone explain the barge config. with the barges alongside and at the same astern as his vessel is he not losing side way manouvring [i am dutch origin]
@markwhitemarine
@markwhitemarine 5 лет назад
I believe that configuration makes the tow rigid. If the joints between barges weren't offset the tow would be more susceptible to flexing during maneuvering.
@bradgt5130
@bradgt5130 5 лет назад
They do it for locks. Since most locks on this river are around 600’x 110’ this tow configuration is the perfect size to max out the lock without having to break tows down for trips. It maximizes the time it takes to transit.

​@@markwhitemarine при такой схеме буксировки барж , ухудшается управляемость всего состава ! Струя от винта бьёт в баржу!
@RON-dl9qr
@RON-dl9qr Год назад
It has to do with the desired length of the tow. The barges next to the boat depending on the draft can affect some control, especially for the flanking rudders. the experience of the man in the wheelhouse is everything knowing when and how to move the head of the tow and position the stern with the current to keep off the "moonwalk". Pinned against a bank. time is money and the home office tracks everything. we always had the bulk of our tow lined up even rarely staggered. My job as a mate was to set up the wires correctly. And to see to it each watch walked the tow regularly tightening it.

При таком положении буксира, управляемость состава затруднена. Мост и поворот прошёл на грани фола. Капитану пришлось понервничать. А нервные клетки не восстанавливаются.

Do they actually call these "push boats" down south? Up north (IL) we call them "barges". I know technically each unit of the H would technically be barge, we also use the term to refer to the whole thing.
