40 years ago when I was running a single screw ship-docking tug, we surely did not have the equipment, nor certainly in my case the nerve to give the ship that kind of help. Using the ocean to multiply his horsepower.....I wonder what the overall bollard pull was. -Veteran '66-68
Id guess rated for somewhere around 45-70 tonnes if shes newish-the ones near me are of a similar size. Adding on the hull pull im not sure but im gunna look into it haha
@@johnnynguyen9449 Ever see in movies where astronauts "slingshot" their ship around say a small planet or moon's gravitational field to gain momentum and speed? Same idea here except the maneuver is being used to increase the tugs pull on the ship by harnessing the power of the drag of the ocean. I hope I have explained it in a manner that makes sense.
@@johnnynguyen9449 that was an exercise to show the pilots how much steering power an escort tug could provide if the ship's steering gear (rudder) failed. Having heard it second hand, they had to run back the other way, because it was way more than they thought.
@@beardlesshobo They are actually at 95 tonnes with over 7000 hp. I should know, in my hometown of Rotterdam, the harbor is crowded with them, Smit Clyde is just one of them.
I am an experienced ASD Tugmaster. This appears to be a Damen 3111 or such, equipped with 270 tonne Amsteel Blue UHMWPE towline. Very experienced master at the helm & great footage. Well done. However, to all tugmasters out there, I have one word to state. Watch your EGOs. This tug is not designed for indirect towage. The portside mooring bitt has a lovely snag point at its aft point. Has anyone made watertight, the emergency fire pump locker on the port quarter, seen fully submerged during the shoot. It's lovely to watch and lovely to imagine that nothing can go wrong but seriously, this is nothing but an ego trip which if anything serious occurred, the particular insurance company would just dust you off.
Thank you Robert. Definitely not a stunt. Why it was done, is not the object of my point. However it appears to be an experiment in the use of this tug design, to ascertain suitability for indirect towage, perhaps only for emergency situations. Given the now accepted preference of rotor tugs for this manoeuvre but notwithstanding the fact that many ports still don't use rotor tugs, I guess it is only natural to determine if existing tugs are able to carry out indirect towage. I believe this clip bears out my thoughts. It is not a vessel I would elect to use for indirect towage and given it's configuration with clear snag points at crucial bulwark sections (crucifix each side), I would not be happy to rely on an emergency brake release if such a snag occurred at that point or at any other point on the vessel. So many things can go wrong at any time, resulting in death. A failed main engine; steering failure; autopilot suddenly overriding a control unit due to incorrect deactivation by prior master and winch brake failure among just a very few items to mention. My initial main point was to simply alert any tugmaster to make certain he has the right tool for the job, that he and his crewmembers will survive to see their loved ones and to consider all risks, while resisting ill informed pressure from pilots, the company and his/her personal EGO.
I am engineer on ASD tug. It's name is Asteriy (ex. Hemiskem). We call these tugs "helicopters" in Russia (it can move in every directions). Sorry my english. :))
Flashy moves f the pilots order is pull astern at 5 o clock he just put the port side kort nozzle at 60 degree angle amd turn off the starboard engine i assume d speed of the vessel is below 7 knots he just put the life of his men at danger..
Judging by the number of thumbs up for the OP, compared to the meager few the mute-holes have, I think we know the mute-holes lost this one....by a wide margin.
That's one of the more fun things you get to do with a tugboat. It's not quite as dangerous as it looks either, if you cut the throttles back she'll pop right up and point the right direction.
Bollocks. That's an appalling piece of seamanship by the tugboat captain. Why on Earth would you want the tug at right angles to the ship? Girting is a well known phenomenon and has cost many lives. It would seem that this skipper not only lacked the skill to control the vessel but had failed to set up a safe release system for the tow line.
Food job skipper,obviously steering failed and is turning to starboard side..... power on and use the line between vessels to pull the bow to a half controlled state 👍
Looks very dramatic, but the ship is moving very slowly ahead and the fact that the tug had the anchorage point at the bows meant that the moment arm used was the longest and so the ship's to pull was the least needed and the tug master did well with the thrust control at the back. The fact that the anchorage point went higher as the tug tilted could have been an unstable situation , but the direction of the white foam at the back indicated clearly that the tug master knew exactly what he was doing having available good sensitive power at his fingers.
After almost a year, I do not know how I came back to this unique towing procedure but since I was teaching vectors last week, I must give credit to the tug master knowing that he knows this vectors and his drag and his buoyancy and his shift in centre of lift and of gravity as related to his metacentric height! all has magnitude and direction and he 'couples' them brilliantly.
awesome!!! Smit Clyde is a Canadian Tug in Prince Rupert, BC built in Damen Shipyards in Holland 1999 & bought from Rotterdam in 2007.. Thank you for posting this awesome sauce!!
@@AphexTwinII I've broke into tugs doing ship assist and smaller barges in San Francisco Bay, then large ramp barges in Alaska. I gotta say, for someone who has actually done this sort of work, the operator is showing skill, nerve and utilization of equipment that is superior to the old single screw boats I was up on in the early 80's. The old boats did not dare do this, it was on the ragged edge of disaster with no real way out, the propulsion systems now provide the ability to push as hard Sideways and they can full ahead. The ability to do this dynamic towing increases the bollard pull well beyond what the tug can do with just its engine. -Veteran '66-68
Those towing ropes can withstand up to 200T+, it is the jerking that makes them part, but if weight is taken gradually they are virtually indestructible.
I would like to use this video in my tug escort class. Could I get your permission to do so if I gave you credit for the video? Thanks for considering this--Captain Slesinger

Indirect towing, very close to girting the tug , top skills from the master
Love the funky Beethoven - the bass line is wicked.
Those skippers from Smit are heros, and excellent skilled ppl.
Ахренеть какая техника! С роду бы не подумал, что такой "малышь", так экстримален.

They were conducting stability tests.
This is Dalles indirect towing. These shops are building to do This. IT is normal operating procedure.
@@atakd indirect towing my friend ,knew exactly what he was doing .
@ no mate that's what it is called .
I guess as long as all the deck level water tight doors are sealed then should be just fine as long as they don't go as far as capsizing.
Another reason for keeping your engine room door closed
This guy knows what the limit is of his tugboat. Respect.
flierefluiter johnny agreee👍👍👍👍💪💪💪
It’s called engineering.
Manuel E. Garcia yeah, no it’s not. It’s called experience and knowing your equipment. A lesser man could easily have capsized that tugboat.

They know exactly what they are doing and are in control obviously. Sea studs!
as long as forward momentum its ok, the water escaping over the stern, no free water effect, done this many times myself

It looks like he's been doing this for awhile! 🇺🇸
Semi submerged, looks effective at turning with all that water drag

He's just loading the aft deck with water for the extra weight to make the tug ride lower and help the prop get a better bite :)
You don't get it at all

Great video (and I love the cheesy music), but god I wish that wheelhouse door was closed. Wouldn't want the insurance company seeing that...
Sea trial, have to leave the door open, as if she capsizes there will be too much water pressure to open it.
That's taking the deckwash too far..
Крепкий малый 👍👍
looks like the skipper had a few beers beforehand - keel haul him - that should buck his ideas up!

The captain of the tugboat knows what he is doing
Whats the speed through the water and how many tons on the line? Is that a cycloidal or stern z drive? Open water escort or just an indirect manuver?

~200tons

It have a big power but the DWT and HP of that ship is much more than tug's power
+karateshito2000 - ...and what ? There is a challange do you think
??
+dan socoliuc No no, it's a normal operation for a tug. It's called indirect manouvre. The tug help the ship during her manovre.
Tx! Tx! I'm in charge with this job since 28 years... So...
It had to be some sort of test. Neither side of the boat has traffic/ congestion, and the tug is pulling in opposite direction to stern movement.

i bet it could go completely under water and just bounce back up
All they have to do is kill the throttle and they'd straighten right up.

Tug boat slowing down the big ship.. It's a normal thing it's not done for the sake of the video
Roman or turning it it’s called indirect towage
Now you know why so many test pilots are Canadian, they have no fear of machines
Skill or what great
Any explanation as to the desired end result of this maneuver?
turning or steering a ship

Whats the point?! Runaway big ship need a "brake" to avoid collision?

What is actually happening here? A test? The tugboat is trying to pull the big boat?
Is it actually doing anything or just being dragged? From this view it looks like it's just getting dragged along.
