Hi Kevin, you're right, in order the mission to be well accomplished, there are a lot of people involved: the crew on the tug, the crew on the tanker, the crew on the pier and the crew of the harbor administration. There are all great pro and I thank them for having let me film all the process. See you 🇨🇦 !

Many thanks for watching !

Hi Moses, I'm a filmmaker so I can't answer your question. I advise you to meet the crew of a tugboat and ask them the best way to reach your goal.

Merci à vous

For Safety reason. Without tires still it moves. Called Popeye's boat, small but Strong & Powerful.

This is a ship docking tug. It doesn't push much and probably doesn't move barges very often if at all. Tires (they use non-steel belted tires...usually old airplane tires so there's not steel wires sticking out to hang up on things). Tires are superior for barge work since they offer a softer landing when coming up to push a barge. Tugs that move/push/tow heavy barges (like gravel, rock, coal and sand and such) tend to have "cheak" rubber at and below the waterline on the shoulder of the tug. That's because when loaded a heavy barge may only be 1 foot above the water, and the hard shearline of the barge can do a lot of damage to the hull of the tug. Most tugs will also have tires on the bulwarks (the flat area above the deck) to protect from rakes of a barge or ship. Tires can be used whole bolted/chained to the side flat against the bulwarks or hull. Or they can be cut and folded and smooshed together like an accordion. This will be mostly around the bow and back to the shoulder. The folded tires grab really good and not only protect the tug providing a cushion, but they also provide grip when pushing a barge so you can slide a barge one way or another when lining up against the dock/terminal. It looks like the tug in the video is a Damen tug (Netherlands based, but they build all around the world). One of the tugs I skipper is a Damen. I also skipper other "west coast" tugs here in BC.

Thank you Chris for your accurate comment 👌

Bonjour Reno, tout à fait, "5 T à éviter" signifie la force de traction à exercer sur le côté droit où gauche. ( jusqu'à 40 T)

Eh bien, je crois que vous ne devriez pas attendre une année de plus pour construire votre propre remorqueur RC !!

Terima kasih !

You're welcome !

Obrigada !

Yep that's for big boys !
