Very impressive bit of choreography. Makes you realize how skilled the tug boat crew is. They have to work with and react to tides, currents and winds, and work as a team with other tugs and the ship's crew.
Normally the dock level is maintained at the height of a big spring tide. On a very high tide the river level rises to the same height as the dock level when it is possible to pass through the lock without stopping
