A few notes on origins: At 0:02 the vessel Alp Striker and at 5:33 the Alp Keeper are both designed by Ulstein Design & Solutions AS in Norway, thus not designed in the United States, as claimed in the video on the second. You can see from afar that this is a vessel designed in Norway, e.g. by its distinct X-Bow. At 1:01 the Esvagt Innovator, with all the huge Turkish flags, is another Norwegian originated ship, designed by Havyard Ship Design in Norway. And at 6:11, the Canadian AHTS-vessel (built as Ice class 1B, strengthened to class 1A) Horizon Arctic also has Norwegian origin, designed and built for Bourbon Offshore Norway AS by Vard Brattvaag, on the west coast of Norway. Sailed in Norwegian waters for seven years, and just recently (2023) relocated to Canada. At 9:19 the Olympic Energy is another Vard designed and built vessel, a Platform Supply Vessel (not a tugboat) of b.y. 2012 at Vard Aukra Norway, which origins wasn't mentioned. At 10:58 the Maersk Master is an AHTS-vessel designed by Salt Ship Design AS in Norway, and built by Kleven in Norway. And Skandi Iceman at 11:59 is yet another vessel by Vard in Norway (...and those 7 are just a few, as I just skipped quickly through this video). Demographics: if you study this in more detail, you will see that a surprisingly large share of these ships (including all 7 ships mentioned) are all designed, built and/or outfitted - not only in Norway - but more specifically by the population of less than 250.000 people of Møre, a small geographic region immediately north of the west cape of Norway. The shipbuilders are descendants of the most ocean-crossing people of the Viking age. (Etymology of Møre: from Old Norse, similar to the word 'mare' in Latin, means ocean).
I have chartered a number of these vessels for our rig move operations in the North Sea and they are truly wonderful machines to work with. The crews are of such a high standard, they really bring the best out of the vessels. 👍
Beautiful ships . My Grandson worked on rescue and recovery vessels on the North Sea for a couple of years. They were no where near as large as these great ships, tho in there own right are of fantastic design too.
Such maritime technological prowess can only be applauded and broadly praised.Countries building beautiful, powerful tug boats 🚢 of this kind should have crossed the line of metal industry's skilfulness,proficiency and potentially, nice content😎👍
correction these are really not tugs they are offshore supply vessels and yes they do anchor handling for drilling rigs and they do tow sometimes, tugs on the other hand are different animals together they must have rubber or rope bumpers all around and they help in docking and towing mostly in ports and canals and they have fire fighting packages in case of fires
few things.. this video is almost copyed from user Top10 Files's video 1 year ago just added some extra information and its also not correct, as you atleast missing 2+ bigger AHTS. this video is ment to be the 10 biggest "AHTS" Anchor handling tug supply vessel. according to the title and not "offshore suppourt vessels" Dearest miss pette is a PSV - Platform supply vessle, not an AHTS, an PSV can't do anchour handling as it dont have the equipment for it, its also far from big.. its 80 meter long and 16 meter wide. I work on a psv that is 96 meter long and 20 meter wide... and that is a normal size psv arround here. Blue Figher is also a PSV, not an AHTS... Olympic Energy is also a PSV, not an AHTS. And i also wondering where you get the bollard pull numbers for the PSV's, it dont stand on eider shipyard site or company site... PSV ships is not used normally for towing other ships unless it is an emergency situation. A few AHTS you did not mention is KL Saltfjord that have 397mt, and the biggest is actually Island Victory with 477mt. Edit: and btw, Ulstein Design & Solutions AS is not in United States, it is in Ulsteinvik Norway
I've ridden much larger ships than these in heavy weather including a typhoon. I recall going forward inside the ship in a big swell was difficult, even hazardous. When the bow pitched up my knees would buckle from the gs (I was young and fit btw but even still the forces were severe). When the bow pitched down I would be left hanging in the air. Sometimes I even had to put my hands up and push off the overhead to prevent hitting my head. This was on a 20,000 tons ship. Further aft there was much less vertical motion. On all these OSVs ( "tugs" ) I see the bridge and crew accommodations crowded as far forward as possible. I cannot even imagine trying to work on one of these in any kind of big swell. Watch standing would be tough and tiring. Unless they use hammocks or there was some way to strap yourself securely into a bunk sleeping would be impossible.
I boarded a RORO ship to cross Bass Strait, a familiar voyage, and the Bosun came on the PA warning the passengers of a rough voyage ahead and added (comically) that the captain had elected to fly and would meet us there. It was a quiet night in the bar and you could have played cricket in the hallways without hurting anyone, needless to say the breakfast was mostly untouched.
@@seanworkman431 I didn't loose my appetite or my lunch during that typhoon but it was too dangerous for the cooks to use the stoves in the galley. We had cold sandwiches for three days. The storm was violent enough that the cold beverage dispensers with their rotating sprayer inside a clear plastic tank broke free of the counter they were bolted to and went flying. Btw, buildings have hallways, ships have passageways.
@@philsalvatore3902 passageways, galleys, heads. Yes storms are bad news for the ship and crew, after 34 years I did notice. Apologize for the incorrect terminology but not everyone watching knows the difference.
I love the fact that I don't know much of anything about ship design, because I'm certain that if I _DID_ I wouldn't have the same sense of wonder when I see the myriad strange shapes that different ships require, for the tasks they perform. THESE ships don't look _stable_ to me! Beautiful to see! 🙂
Did anyone else get the impression that she was just reading lists of data off a list and had absolutely no idea what most of the acronyms actually meant? Fine for those who already know. But if you want to learn about these ships, a bit more explanation of what things mean and how things work would be very welcome. But I guess that would involve some research on the part of the film maker and there is next week's video to be got out....
@@SailingKaiserit is indeed, but a person was responsible for inputting the script as data to be read out. Quite obvious the script writer has little or no knowledge of what they write about. Poor show, if educating those who wish to learn about such vessels.
no offence but if you knew what you were talking about you wouldnt be calling OSV's and AHTS's "tug boats" and you wouldnt be claiming that they help tankers and container ships to berth in port. Different beasts altogether!!!
Nice video, but sad with the computer generated comments... .....with a lot of faulty information. Most of the vessels have Norwegian origin, either by design, build, order or ownership. The x-bow design is Norwegian, and as some in the comments feels it looks unstable, the design has clear advantages in rough sea and is absolutely not unstable. There is so much weight in the keel, that these ships is probably the correct place to be if hit by a tsunami or the "hundred-year-swell".
The Presque Isle is a ITB(integrated tug/barge) that runs on the Great Lakes. The massive tug is a formidable ice breaker when separated from its 1000 foot barge. It is the only ship of its kind on the Great Lakes.
I work aboard the horizon arctic have been for last 3+ years im actually on the ship now as i type this message and i can tell you some of the information is incorrect 25kts top speed?? More like 17kts maxed out all engines screaming.
The data for Dearest Ms Petite is off. She is faster at 15kts, and the power you stated is the auxiliary power. Didn't cross check the commentary on the other vessels.
You never talk and give details about the under water propeller systems, and yet you go on and on about how powerful are these vessels. It simply means you lack the technical qualification, and thus the capability to talk about the powers of these vessels. Please stop. Go talk about fashion attire instead, or something else.
I am having one built for me .The Skandi Iceman 11 ..its now 3/4 completed in Denmark ..its got a 350 ton bollard pull , icebreaking hull . giant crane ..
Denmark, really? Note: the Skandi vessels are designed in Norway, built in Norway and outfitted in Norway, for Norwegian customers. Only one Skandi Iceman exists: it was built by the Norwegian shipyard Vard Søviknes (that's in my neighbourhood) to owner Iceman AS/DOF ASA enterprise in Norway. Design is of this particular ship is called STX AH 12, a Norwegian design, and had build number 799 from this shipyard. The build was complete ten years ago, the ship had its christening on 28 September 2013, and formal delivery to owner took place on 23 October 2013.
Correction it's not a tug boat .. . .tug boat can towing ship barged And possing a large vessel which particular in Docking .and Undocking ship from pier
New type is experimental. I may design 'Tug yes hug'. Heavy duty engine, high performance power, go straight aviation, loading up, higher bridge, living decking, speeding knots, under sea radio communication, strong and hard head shape, digital panel, analogue zyro, port carriage, ton, fuel efficiency, various model, heading into fortune, general purpose, public transport, and then we should get to be passive. I will plan to do work on Tug yes hug. Turn head and go to do activities. Round, cutting eage, easy going, mid range, huge taskmaster, delivery time, back up ship, service area, reactive position, anti ship mine, etc Next time Good striding and safe capacity are our goals.
You might wish to explain what the 'DC electrical concept and variable RPM solution' is. Otherwise,people outside the industry won't have a clue what you are talking about. Given that you've posted your film on RUclips,I presume it is for general consumption?
There is a huge difference between tugs used to berth and unmoor ships in harbors, vs offshore support vessels (AHTS). Also none of the vessels shown in this video are Ro-Ro.
Great video, had to cut it short due to Narrator. It would have been nice if she knew what she was talking about instead of reading from a script. And the annoying voice didn't help.
This video would have been awesome if the Narrator acutely knew the subject matter and didn't slaughter the names of the ships and the companies that run them. She has no knowledge on the subject of which she speaks and it's obvious. Ruined it for me.

And where are the American shipyards? Nowhere to be seen, hiding behind their Jones Act afraid or unable to compete globally.
*"Navigare necesse est..."I forgot the rest!*
was saying exactly this during the entire vid since my uncle used to work at the shipyard that refitted several of these ships on sunmøre.
This video is suuuper inaccurate on mamy counts. It got almost everything wrong about the master.
Thanks 🙏
The lady speaks on that frequency that goes in one ear and out the other.
Yep.
Agree, a bit to quickly too
had to mute her halfway the video and use the subtitels, the info is good though
She is one of those inclusive blonde experts who speaks from a script ...
I think its an electronic voice,,, not real

fantastic ships. would love to see the engine rooms.
electric motors powered by gen set electricity
Enjoyed the video start/finish..Excellent IOM(UK)
All of these ships are incredible feats of engineering. Amazing to see how far we have come.
"We" ? So you own a couple of container ships ?
She is butiful, love the modern design lines of this vessel, so nice ....
Thom in Scotland.
Good info! Thank you!
This is my world thank you very much,
Increíble!! Me encanta el video!
”Dearest miss Pette” Sounded like she was reading the start of a letter or diary for us
Those are the most beautiful ships 🚢 ever built
I really like the AHTS ships there versatility is great and the look awesome. Would love to work on one.
Nice video, thanks for posting!
*"Nice"?*
These ships are straight out of a Chris Foss sketchbook. Awesome.
correction these are really not tugs they are offshore supply vessels and yes they do anchor handling for drilling rigs and they do tow sometimes,
tugs on the other hand are different animals together they must have rubber or rope bumpers all around and they help in docking and towing mostly in ports and canals and they have fire fighting packages in case of fires
You are correct, thanks !
excellent video
Great visuals. Inane talk.
Such Badass 🚢 ships 🚢 so beautiful
At 2:18, all the wind turbines are inactive. That's funny. LOL!
few things.. this video is almost copyed from user Top10 Files's video 1 year ago just added some extra information and its also not correct, as you atleast missing 2+ bigger AHTS.

I work on a psv that is 96 meter long and 20 meter wide... and that is a normal size psv arround here.
Blue Figher is also a PSV, not an AHTS...
Olympic Energy is also a PSV, not an AHTS. And i also wondering where you get the bollard pull numbers for the PSV's, it dont stand on eider shipyard site or company site...
PSV ships is not used normally for towing other ships unless it is an emergency situation.
A few AHTS you did not mention is KL Saltfjord that have 397mt, and the biggest is actually Island Victory with 477mt.
Edit: and btw, Ulstein Design & Solutions AS is not in United States, it is in Ulsteinvik Norway
wow such progress and comfort and utility boggles my memories of stevedores of old
Wow awesome buy 😊❤👍💯

This is really the most modern bow design. They dont plow into the waves in rough seas anymore. They split the the wave and dive into it
Beautiful
8:24 Notice the size of the spool on that crane, 3000+ meters of cable.
Good catch!

That's correct and it is annoying to hear such wrong information as I'm working for Ulstein Design & Solutions!
Awesome, thanks for this first class video.
Thank you for the good video!!! I have wondered how some of these ships work in the real world…. They are an amazing machine!!!
I will film these soon.
The Normand Ranger anchor handler vessel owned by solstad is a big powerful vessel with an impressive bollard pull
these are proper support vessels.
Perfect
AT 6:21 YOU SEE THE OCEAN GATE TITAN SUBMERSIBLE

Why am i watching a fkcing tugboat video at 12am on a sunday
Question is why aren't you on a tugboat they pay pretty well !

Am I alone finding thos ship so beutiful ?
Worked on two of the vessel's introduced.

makes more sense. unfortunately no water-skiing then.
you can still wake board or surf behind--i have done it!! and have heard some will transport passengers or ferry cars,semi trucks,etc
Maersk Master nor Skandi Iceman are not RoRo ships FFS !
Saying roro sounds cool though
well what do you expect ..its a woman commentator
How many of these ships were not based in Norway? 4?

SKANDI ICEMAN "Who's a pretty boy?"
So what do these cost to build and operate ?
These are not tugboats, these are utility vessels. Huge difference. Also, what do you know about anything, being on the ocean is a man’s job.
Let’s just call these boats what they really are - big pickup trucks for the ocean.
I am having one built for me .The Skandi Iceman 11 ..its now 3/4 completed in Denmark ..its got a 350 ton bollard pull , icebreaking hull . giant crane ..

They forgot Russel Crowe and Tugger 🤦♂️🤣
Did you hear about the smit londen or rotterdam?
The London and Rotterdam also had a sister ship, the Smit Singapore. All three were very fine vessels in their time, and are fondly remembered.
I want one. But my wife won't let me get one. She doesn't understand
This is why I don't get anything done. It's incredible the things human beings have made from raw elements taken out of the Earth
In the common usage, tug boats are used for pulling and pushing. If a boat only has a pulling usage, then it is a tow boat not a tug.
Yes, thanks for sharing!

I do enjoy a good tug.
Iot of wrong fact in this video
1. Alp Striker.
2. Skandi Iceman.
3. Horizon Arctic.
Great video, had to cut it short due to Narrator. It would have been nice if she knew what she was talking about instead of reading from a script. And the annoying voice didn't help.
You should do something about the Loading Nauctis logo top right that is going off/on all the time. Felt that it was really annoying.
COMMENTATOR WAS GREAT!!
Norway shows the way
Wish I was fluent in Norwegian , I would visit Wittgenstein's cabin.
So true
What is the kilowatt conversion into horsepower
Port Fourchon LA has the a lot of big vessels some run on hydrogen .
Welcome to the nauctis or Fluctus etc….this is a RUclips channel btw.
Ok so how much horsepower do they have?
In the old days, the best and strongest tug boats came from the Netherlands. Our government sold it all.....
Kapal yang sangat besar dan bagus
Nothing look better than SMIT TUGS Zwarte Zee and London ,New York.
What has this to do with the most powerful tugs?
I imagine Dearest Miss Petty has much more than three thousand kW.
This video would have been awesome if the Narrator acutely knew the subject matter and didn't slaughter the names of the ships and the companies that run them. She has no knowledge on the subject of which she speaks and it's obvious. Ruined it for me.
6:21 do I even have to explain
Get your facts correct FFS.
Maersk Master IS NOT a Ro/Ro vessel, and DOES NOT carry cars or trucks.
IT I AN ANCHOR HANDING TUG!!
Dearest Miss Pette are not designed for AHTS as you mentioned. In short PSV… NOT AHTS
And there were a few more in this video
