Again a nice video, thanks! I really like the Antwerp tugs as they stand out from the many Damen built tugs around in Europe. And I like the sound of the ABC diesels. ;-) Have to get to Antwerp again for some ship spotting this summer...
that looks like an awesome job to have. I don't know how you all co ordinate and how you know how much force to apply to move the load where it needs to be
The 'no tug' is written on a little door/entrance. If the tug would push on that door it will break for sure. In the movie the tug is few meters lower then that door :-)
Good video, thanks for sharing. Why was tug30 going astern rather than forward? (Or was that really astern?) Does that make any difference to efficiency?
Yes, for sure the Damen tugs are good! Just nothing special in most cases. ;-) From what I have seen in videos the Damen tugs seem to be quieter inside than the Antwerp tugs. Or is that due to the Voith tractor design?
Ok, to answer my own question, having watched the full video I see that later on he switches from pushing in reverse to pulling going forward! And I guess that towing is always done in a forward direction.

So why does the tug push on the one spot that says "No Tug" ?
