- They can be one of the most frustrating ships to bring a bunker barge along side of.

'Get her up on plane, ready to go'. Is that a tug captain's version of a Dad Joke? Very droll.😁
😂😂😂😂 Thank you very much for watching Trevor. CUOTO
🤣😂
lol... thought the same thing.
😂
lol, boat jokes
Thanks for narrating things like “port ahead, starboard astern, right rudder”! Very helpful to learn about this.
Thank you for watching Andrew. CUOTO
I helped a friend find and purchase another friends cabin cruiser. I took care of the maintenance and operated the vessel for him. He never learned how to operate his boat and passed several years ago. I have been friends with the owner of the where we kept her. He was always amazed at how I could maneuver her, single screw with no thrusters.
Patience and years of experience. We've enjoyed the Chesapeake, with family property in the lower eastern shore, lake Erie, with family property on Catawba and the Ashtabula/ conneaut area, lake Michigan, and both coasts.
Love the water and seafood!
There is something so satisfying watching folks like yourself doing such critical jobs, where screwing up is expensive and dangerous, with such precision! So glad you're uploading here!
Thank you very much for watching and welcome to the channel Sam! I appreciate your kind words. CUOTO
Give the chief a chest cam, so we can see what's happening shipside. It'll give you more editing work but would be a great enhancement.
Thank you for watching. I have wanted to do that for years, but I have to prove with documentation to my employer that the cameras I would take on the barge are intrinsically safe. GoPro doesn't provide that. CUOTO
Why stop there, the sky is the limit so how about a little drone footage too... yes, viewers always want more, more, more. lol😃
Starboard side. Top of the crew area. What is the white thing. Two upright and six across. What looks like five lights across with white in the middle. ?
@@mikefeeley5717 warning light for high tank levels
@@mikefeeley5717 That is the visual part of the high level alarms for the tanks on the barge. CUOTO

Thank you very much for watching George. CUOTO
Was privileged to be aboard USS NEW JERSEY on the transit from the former Philadelphia Naval Shipyard drydock 3 to Paulsboro NJ abt 10 days ago to allow for dewatering prior to return to our home port of Camden NJ. While underway with tug assist (the US Navy rightfully has opinions about firing up our boilers) the knowledge to bring us out, up the Delaware river, and to out mooring in Paulsboro without any sense of moving is a testament to the skills of the profession.
Was even a little disappointed to feel ZERO sense of movement in the entire transit. Of course part of that is ~47,000 tons of mass, but MOST of that is due to the training, skills and knowledge of those in your trade. Bravo Zulu to Tim and your peers.
Outstanding! That's fantastic Tony! Thank you for watching. CUOTO
I was stationed Long B and watched them bring in Herman the German to work on the Jersey turrets.
It was a good view of the battle wagon from pier 7. Because I was on a Perry doing antenna maintenance.
But we got underway when the actual lift was done. Depending on the captains confidence of the helmsman we did not use a tug.
Then there was Tommy Two Tugs.
Yes that Perry had thrusters. Also no real need for the LM2500s inside the port.
They always fired up the turbines along side the pier. I guess that was the naval version of 4 wheel drive and 4 wheel steering.
It also was a better ride than a Knox. But not as good as a Sprue Can.

Wonderful to witness precision ship-handling up close with a step-by-step desciption! 😊💜
Watching you backup, pirouette about, then get under way was impressive. Also, you're awsome on the two-way radio!
Thank you very much for watching and welcome to the channel Brettany. CUOTO
Many thanks Captain Tim for an interesting vlog. Enjoy listening to your explanation of what you're doing as you proceed. Have a wonderful time with your Dad. Blessings. Sherry 🥰 🙏 ⚓
Thank you very much for watching Sherry! CUOTO
I had no clue barges are how the boats refueled, I figured it came from the dock and each mooring location had a fuel pipe like lots of modernized airports do at the terminal for filling the planes.
Thank you very much for watching and welcome to the channel. There are some newer ports that are set up that way. But NYC is not set up that way. CUOTO
Well that was 😎. Not for everyone I expect; nothing blows up, no excessive speed, but a pleasure to see the skill and knowledge at work irl for a critical link in the chain providing consumer goods that we all rely on. Besides, i just love working ports. 🤷🏼♂️

I can watch locks in canals in person for hours at a time, watching the barges pass through. If I lived somewhere I could watch stuff like this I don’t think I’d ever go home

Heard they call them ROLL ON ROLLOVERS! Cause they do
Thank you for watching. CUOTO
RORO
For the small amount of rollovers happened based on the big quantities of pctc ships your comment doesn't make sense, more tuckboats roll over
That's roro ferries not car ships.
@@Hamish_A Nope not saying they do in all conditions But a common occurance as what pappened on the El faro Which is not the typical auto carrier had cars and containers "We got cars loose" -- new details in sinking of El Faro Know that all ships can have loose cargo But there is a great long vid that shows the moment by moment the talking that we know happened Shows pics of cars not properly lashed which changed the COG Showed several RORO ships that capsized recently List of roll-on/roll-off vessel accidents

Grew up on the Chesapeake Bay between the Great Wicomica River and Smith Point.My father was a waterman (crabs& oysters)Enjoy watching your videos. Use to see the tugs and barges going up down the bay. My uncle was a menhaden boat captain. Went with him from Reedville Va up thru the East River into the sound to Groton
Yessir. My dad was from Greenbackville and my grandma lived in Pocomoke all my life. I grew up in Philly but spent much of my life on the Eastern Shore. We always had little boats on the Chester River. Cheers.
Thank you for watching Rodney. CUOTO
lived in Elizabeth....brings back memories......spent weekend mornings watching launches from the City Dock for entertainment.......I knew there were more legitimate activities happening in the port....you have confirmed my suspicion...thanks
😂😂😂 Thank you very much for watching Mike. CUOTO
Awesome driving,and I like the way you tell what your doing.Enjoy days off with family. God bless,and be safe
Thank you very much for watching Elizabeth. CUOTO
Thanks good video. I've been fascinated with tugboats and barges for a long time. My mom actually worked for Mrs Shaver of Shaver barge lines in Portland Oregon. It was pretty cool because she was a caregiver and Shaver lived in a penthouse apartment in the West hills overlooking the Willamette River. You can walk over to the window and look at the river and see the barges. 🇺🇲👍⛵
Very cool! Thank you for watching. CUOTO
I just really appreciate your masterful rotation as you cast off - clearly that ship of yours has become an extension of yourself - Makes me miss sailing very much.
Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel. If you like sailing, be sure to check out my other channel, SV Paquita. CUOTO
It’s almost as if you know what you’re doing. You guys make it look easy. 👍👍🇨🇦
Thank you very much for watching Rick. I appreciate your kind words. CUOTO
@@TimBatSea I kept looking for that dryer vent and never saw it. Was it on screen?
This gives me a good feel for how to maneuver very large vessels (and vehicles). Just taking and extremely slow and deliberate approach is quite a different mindset.
Believe me, going slow is the hardest thing we do. Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel. CUOTO
#193 Good Morning, Cap! Thanks for showing me/us how its done! I worked on the Coal Fired Carferrys on Lake Michigan, 50 years ago. Handling the Wheel was my Pleasure. My vessel, SS City of Green Bay (Long Gone)---Scrapped in Spain. Happiness is The Highway! er, Waterways, too!
Thank you very much for watching and welcome to the channel. CUOTO
Thank you for an excellent video as always. Greatly enjoyed and appreciated.
Thank you for watching John. CUOTO
OK, that was surreal. As you came up on the transporter I checked her name out. Last year I ordered a new Kia. It was on that ship and I tracked it all the was to it's final destination with the Marine Traffic website.
Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel. With 80,% of all things made by man being transported over the water at some point, the odds are good that this happened. 😂 CUOTO
Hi, fellow... person of odd work. That Swede that you don't remember that works nights for 4-5 at A stretch.
I sit in a bunker pushing buttons, Take calles/emails etc. Admin Security government.
Thank you for watching Gurra. CUOTO
I love watching this stuff! Especially how what is happening is being described. I just recently learned the difference between port and starboard, but I swear I could watch hours of this kind of stuff. I appreciate that I would probably have that barge rammed into something in about 10 minutes. Major skills!
😂😂😂 Thank you very much for watching and welcome to the channel Adam. I am sure you would do fine. CUOTO
God bless - the beginning of the video I count like 4-6 rooftop Coleman A/Cs for RVs - my lord what a setup lol
Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel. Those rooftop A/C units are used on the tug's upper house and on the barge for their galley, and one for each berthing quarters. The rest you are seeing are vents and things like that. CUOTO
Thanks for lining us up with the mast on the bow, makes it so easy to track your heading and turn rates.
Thank you for watching Sam. Yes, I use the mast all the time. CUOTO
My first time watching something like this and it’s very interesting. Nice job.

Hi Captain Tim!
Looks like it's raining there.
Looks like on that barge the GPS antenna is bent in a bit and a short section of the fence railing is bent in a bit.
I guess something happened there?
Bunker barge "up on plane", yeah, that's a good one Captain Tim.
I might be simple, but I find these videos fascinating. Lots of physics involved.
CUOTO
Good morning Mellissa! Thank you very much for watching and supporting the channels! CUOTO
Pretty neat. I don't know anything about sailing, thanks for the explanations.
Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel. CUOTO
Brought back memories from my days 20 years ago in Australia. I found that I was calling the settings of the machinery exactly as you were describing it. It's like riding a bike. Once you know how to do it, you never forget it.
Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel Roland. CUOTO
haven't seen your channel in a while quite a bit more ship handling than the tugboat vids i've been watching lately. a lot of cranes in Baltimore, a couple of really big boys, impressive capacities.
Thank you for watching and welcome back to the channel. CUOTO
Stuff I've never seen or heard before. Thank you!
Thank you very much for watching and welcome to the channel Randall. CUOTO
@@TimBatSea I subscribed! And I look forward to more good stuff!
@@randallreed9048 Thank you very much!
Thanks, Cap'n. I like the way you "twist" the barge around. Has anyone ever thought of putting bow thrusters on petro-products barges?
Thank you for watching Ralph. There are barges that have thrusters, but usually in ports that don't have as many other tugs to help out. CUOTO
Captain Tim is the "Sultan of Swing"!

Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel. I loved those EMDs but hated the Airflex Clutches. CUOTO
Those cranes were moving in the background. It created an optical illusion that made it look like you were zooming past the cranes.

Firefighters aren’t too fond of car ships either.
Dude... Too soon. Thank you very much for watching and welcome to the channel. CUOTO
Hi Tim, really like the content. One thing you can do if you have the software to get past these slow channel passages; speed up the footage. You can add music or more likely, some narration as to what your doing and compress a long slow journey into a quick one.
Thank you for watching Andrew. Great ideas. CUOTO
another great video. I feel the Need to Bleed speed CUOTO Capt.
😂😂😂😂 Thank you very much for watching Gregory. CUOTO
That was probably the sickest Rockford I have ever seen in a tug 😂😂

Your really great at what you do Tim. Smooth like butter. Fantastic Capt. On the one sir
Thank you very much! I really appreciate that! CUOTO
Thanks Cap’n

It was his PERSONAL phone, not his WORK phone. He would NOT have any work related texts on his PERSONAL phone.
Thank you for watching. CUOTO
I swear i saw that car ship in Baltinore a couple of days ago once again great video
You very well could have. Thank you for watching the channel. CUOTO
Couple questions - I have yet to hear you mention “lightering” … just wondering if that’s part of your mix, and also, I have not seen booms deployed during fuel transfers … or did I miss it? Or is it not required for NJ, NYC port area?
Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel. NYC/NJ ports are relatively deep, so lightering is usually not needed. Also, we mostly take fuel to ships. Boom requirements are set by the captain of the port. Sometimes mandated in one place but not another. CUOTO
Quick question with regard to bunkering - is there a reason why here its a barge being used versus a dedicated bunkering ship? Or does it just depend on what is available at various ports/what bunkering companies service the ports?
Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel. It has to do with manning requirements. A bunker barge that is self propelled is considered a ship and will need a licensed captain, engineer and crew. A barte doesn't need that. CUOTO
Interesting thing I’ve noticed in my commercial fishing boat marina is a lack of flags or wind indicators. You mentioned using dryer steam. Would you ever mount a flag or sock on the barge to help you manage your charge. I mounted a flag on my dock piling. I have big sail for a 50’. It sure helps.
Thank you very much for watching. Yes. We have three flags on the bow of each barge. CUOTO
Excellent content amigo !
Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
Always an awesome journey with you Tim! Thanks man!
Thank you very much for watching Rob! CUOTO
Came into Newark a while ago on an ACL conro (Atlantic Sea) some pretty tight turns to get to the vehicle unloading berths.
Thank you very much for watching and welcome to the channel. CUOTO
I enjoy your channel very much. I was wondering how your work is scheduled. Do you wake up and then learn what you're pushing/towing/moving for the day or is it planned in advance (and you're aware of it)? Do you get a call from the home office (or maybe a printout) of your schedule for the day? I'm unfamiliar with the harbor you work in so this might be a dumb question. Are you on a river or a salt water harbor? How big of a radius (in miles) to you work from you home dock? Do you return to the same dock each night? Do you ever work at night? Don't mean to bog you down with questions. I'm just curious. Thanks for posting!
Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel. The tug works 24 hours a day.and we live on the tug for two or three weeks followed by equal time off at home. New York harbor is a salt/sea water port. Here is a link to one of my first videos and it should clear things up for you. CUOTO ruclips.net/video/Vz-HUR38AUs/видео.htmlsi=7oXl_IDE32Rn5LPQ
Been there done that thanks, Tim
Thank you for watching Woody. CUOTO
Have you ever gone to the port of chicago? Or anywhere on the lakes?
Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel. I have not, but our company does have a unit working up there. CUOTO
Great tieup video, so many small adjustments needed.
Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
My docking pilot buddy isn’t a fan of those ships either… sounds like it’s time to keel haul the naval architects who designed those ships!! 😂 #CUOTO
😂😂😂😂 Thank you very much for watching and supporting the channels Ian! CUOTO
Got the makings of a good offset smoker there on deck.
😂😂😂😂 Good idea Dave. Except for the couple million gallons of petroleum under it. 😂 Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
How much does current affect movement? The vibration sounds similar to the Lake Street bridge railings with a bus on it.
Thank you for watching Greg. The current or tide affects a loaded barge more than a lite barge. A little bit of current can ruin a good day. CUOTO
Just curious, curious do ports have radar like airports do or do they have to manually track ships movements?
Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel. VTS does have radars, but most vessel tracking is done by AIS. CUOTO
Great video ! Have you ever explained what those rows of lights on top the aft starboard house are ? Also I see a little antenna on a tv rotor to starboard.
Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel. The lights are the visual part of the high level alarms. The other thing you mentioned was probably their DirectTV dish. CUOTO
Just came across your video's. Very interesting, wasn't aware a tug was that big. You are a bunkering tug? Good explanation of what is going on. Sure cant be in a hurry!
Thank you for watching Larry and welcome to the channel. CUOTO
in & out of EWR I always wonder how y'all operate with all those big ships in what appears to be very tight quarters. You make it look easy! thanks for posting.
Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel. CUOTO
first time viewing - wow. why did you dock next to the car carrier? why not use a tug? what kind of ship are you on? thanks...thumbs up and s...
Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel. We are a Tugboat and we push petroleum barges to fuel ships. CUOTO
Are the barges, tenders, e.g, for refueling, water and effluent transfer, etc?
Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel. We are on a Tugboat that moves petroleum barges to fuel ships. CUOTO
I'm pretty sure there's a few maritime Vets. That would enjoy the fact of carrying out some sorts of Still serving (being...)!
Thank you for watching. Many people today can't pass a simple drug test. CUOTO
How do you steer in the boat? Is there a wheel? Does it have automatic steering?
Thank you again for watching. We have no steering wheel. We use a "jog lever" like a joy stick. CUOTO
Ouch feeback that would deafen me
Thank you for watching (and listening). 😂 CUOTO
I’m familiar with the CUOTO Code about Tugs & Customers, but “”in general”” (if you know) does a ship’s operator or home port give any indication if said vehicle cargo is from Asia vs Europe? I assume No, these operators / ships chase business like everyone else. My own work experience has taught me that there’s many of differences with ‘finished goods’ cargo like a car compared to bulk/raw materials so I thought I’d ask.
Thank you for watching. Most ships have registries of convenience. This means ship owners will register then where the taxes and safety requirements are the least. CUOTO
Why shutdown electronics? Do you phase Generators when you switch them?
Thank you very much for watching and welcome to the channel. That used to be a thing on older and larger tugs. But today it is very uncommon to parallel generations. (Newer boats don't have the equipment to do so). CUOTO
Very good video. Noticed that the barge was very responsive. You mentioned that you were concerned about getting sucked under the rake which made me think (I know dangerous) Do you have the ability to put an anchor under foot which you are made up?
Thank you for watching. We have the ability but not the desire. 😂 CUOTO
Good piloting there captain. 🍻
Thank you very much for watching and welcome to the channel. CUOTO
Oh, you're talking about a Ro-Ro vehicle carrier! I was wondering what you meant by "car ship"
It's what we call them in our industry. Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
Like where is like the like 360 drone shot? And the straight down drone shot? Or even a helicopter swoop circle pan? I need multiple angles here. Where is the technocrane?!
But really a insta360 or the GoPro 360 camera would be awesome. Upload in 360 and the viewer could pan around and look at whatever TF they want to. 😂
Could get AI to score it. Put some dramatic action orchestral symphony 100 piece London symphony stuff. Don’t forget the cold open! Chicks dig a cold
Open.
Thank you very much for watching. I have my hands full trying to run the boat. A drone would be hard to use while running the boat and most places here are no fly zones because we are close to the airport. CUOTO
Great video, thanks for explaining things as you go!
Thank you very much for watching and welcome to the channel. CUOTO
???
What is Panama Yanker on the side of the watercraft?
The name is a clue regarding it.
Does today, the ship still have them yet?
Will ships be integrated with daily crossings, too, working daily travel to get somewhere daily?
Does your type of barge do that work every day and night?
Do all barges have these as well (Panama Yanker) to do there tasks every day?
Sincerely!
R.S.V.
Thank you for watching Richard. Yes. Most ships have Panama Chocks. Yes, we work 24/7. CUOTO
Yep, that is quite the process, moving mass tonnage around without bending stuff.

Very Cool...thats for sharing
Thank you very much for watching and welcome to the channel. CUOTO
I'm curious what's the rack of lamps over there on top of the crew shack? The ones with 6 levels of Red, Amber, and White lights for? I admire the skill it takes to plan and execute your movements on such large vessels. Thanks for the video!
