I worked on a 220' AHTS Supply Vessel. I loved being on the wire. My longest tow was from Santa Barbara, Ca to Dutch Harbor, Ak. There, we supplied the rig we towed, around the clock for 5 days. Then, reattached the wire, and towed her North for 300 miles. Great job. 2 years in the Bering Sea. Towed 17 rigs in total up there, and lived in Dutch Harbor. Enjoy tug life. I did.
Great video. I used to work with Wijsmuller Netherlands. The longest tow I've ever made was an oilrig from the Caribbean to the Persian gulf. Took us 5 months while during the trip we were supplied by another ship. Thankfully, we had a smashing crew of 17.
Yeah I left a comment I grew up in New Castle and in Bear Delaware actually more Bear Delaware and I used to hang out at the canal Sandy canal I grew up right there all my childhood rode my dirt bikes I went to elementary school at commodore Madonna which is right underneath the St George's bridge and so many nights at the Schaefer's canal House too many good nights LOL
Being on the wire, under tow, is relaxing. Longest tow I was on, was from Ventura, Ca. To Dutch Harbor, Ak. 4,000 miles. Great tow. Did it 3 times. All were semi submersible drilling rigs. 1984-85
This is what I'm trying to do I'm already finna be getting my twic card something you have to have in tx to work on water or near water then imma work my way towards getting on a tug boat
Yooo Jake! I own the old Miss Gill and we got her looking sharp in Maine these days. If you’re ever interested in some fill-in work on her hit me up. We still got your old coffee mug onboard don’t worry about that!
I grew up in Bear Delaware which the canal runs right through their we used to ride our three wheelers and a dirt bikes up on the dirt hills their we swam in the canal through fireworks in the canal St George's bridge the Chesapeake Bay bridge all that Schaefer's canal House so many memories through there

I get the feeling that the marine industry is the best kept secret in the world.

Whats the schedule like on those boats? Looks fun and diffrent from doing river work
2 weeks on the boat, 6 hours on watch 6 hours off watch. repeat for the entire 2 week trip
Depending on your boat
I do 4 weeks on 2 weeks off. Some boats do 12 hours on and 12 off. We do the 6 hours on and 6 off
Coast Guard Cutter Chinook WYTM 96 110 foot tug. Curtis Bay to New York and back. The proverbial “ slow boat to China”. Circa 1980.
