A tour of the wheelhouse of a modern commercial Towboat, featuring the operating controls and navigation equipment. This is a new (built in 2023) Towboat, engaged within Inland and Western Rivers routes, performing towing and bunker work for the petro-chemical transportation industry. It is a “conventional” vessel with stick and rudder controls, versus many new vessels which use Z-Drive propulsion.
This vessel features a “spare no expense” suite of navigation equipment and represents the current state of the art for American inland commercial work boats.
