'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
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
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?
Tim ... "cool down for a bit!" LOL Excellent demonstration of the maneuvering needed to complete this job successfully! Stay safe.

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 laughed at that too "get her up on plane" lol. I love watching your videos. I worked on a Navy tug in the '80s. So different.
Thank you very much for watching and welcome to the channel Dennis. CUOTO
That was a Sweet swing out!
Thank you very much for watching Frank. CUOTO
You are in a wonderful place. So close to so much. NY and NJ. Love it.
Thank you for watching Betty! CUOTO
NJ yes. NY State yes. NYC not at all.
@TimBatSea My mom was born and raised on NYC and I used to live upstate 4 hours away
My grandparents and some aunts and uncles settled in Hackensack, Pompton Lakes and and Paramus.NJ. Sailed out of Bayonne on a Celebrity Cruise 2 years ago. Spending time in the city is still nice for me.
Love all these videos when you are in areas I live in and work near. Even though I’m a Food grade tanker driver,I’m always looking out for you. Stay safe Cap and enjoy your home time.
Thank you very much for watching Scotty. CUOTO
Thank you for an excellent video as always. Greatly enjoyed and appreciated.
Thank you for watching John. 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
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
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
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

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.
@@hamishadamson4628 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

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
Nice work Capt!
Thank you for watching David. CUOTO
Gracias capitán por sus videos. Un saludo desde Colombia " TURBO" BENDICIONES
De nada hombre! Gracias por ver mi video
We often have fuel barges leave their screws turning for long periods of time while they’re already along side and tied up. As a crane operator it makes it unsafe for cargo operations at times because it moves the ship along side the dock. Moving the ship unexpectedly makes us no longer centered on the hatch. This can be dangerous.
As a crane operator I hope that any tug boat captains reading this try to reduce this as much as possible if container cargo operations are under way.
Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel Jeremy. 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
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
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
That RoLo ship reminds me of the Freemantel Highway who whas on fire tughed to the Eemshaven in the north part off te Netherland a view miles of where i live nice vid Tim!!
Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
Excellent content amigo !
Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
nice weather same as here today we get car carriers here they off load at Annacis terminals 20 miles inland up the Fraser river lots of tidal action dnone mostly at slack
Thank you for watching Garth. 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
Aside from all the electronics, how have the tugs changed since you began your career ? Always happy to see your content, cheers from Las vegas
Thank you for watching Michael. Great question. First and foremost, smoking. Tugs all used to smell like stale cigarette smoke. Now most boats are smoke free. Some have designated smoking areas. Also diesel fuel. You used to be able to smell the fuel as soon as you stepped onboard. Now with ultra low sulfur fuel (3 to 5 ppm) you don't smell it as much. Great question. CUOTO
I'm never going to bitch about parking my 42' again. HA! You go Capt!
😂😂😂😂 Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
I caught myself leaning right a lot during the docking. It's fascinating for this Land Lubber here in West Texas to see another job world in action. Thanks for the ride. I'm told that we missed the Permian Basin ocean by 200 million years.
😂 Thank you very much for watching and welcome to the channel James. CUOTO
Utterly fascinating to listen and watch expertise in practice. 3.2 knots is scary to me (knowing so little about tug operations!)
Thank you very much Stephen. I appreciate that. CUOTO
Very Cool...thats for sharing
Thank you very much for watching and welcome to the channel. CUOTO
Another fun fact this is the area PT boats were manufactured right across the river including pt109 John Kennedy's boat. .they use to test them up and down this river
I was not aware of that. Very cool! Thank you for watching. CUOTO

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.

I remember that stretch. I've transited the kills in a sailing yacht, surveyed multiple barges on both sides, and spent time in P.E. back when we were trying to work out the Bridgeport Container Barge project. My favourite story about the kills came from a Penn Maritime captain, I wish I remembered his name. Ran a boat that became a Kirby pin boat (we did the engineering conversion for pins, done at Feeney--forgetting that boat's name too!). When he was a kid he would skim oil there and actually get money for it, and then he told a story about meeting the owner of Progresso and moving olive oil, darn it I wish I could remember all of that story! Will look for old notes it was hilarious!
We inclined that Tugboat at Feeney on the 2nd of January as I remember--a quick thaw in 2014. Everything was frozen in, and then we rushed over there from Boston area, the ice broke enough, it got to 60 degrees, we set pendulums up, got great numbers in flat calm, then it all started to freeze up again as we finished but they were then able to move, put that study through fast for their COI and it was off to the races. It really is like Rip Van Winkle taps you on the shoulder up there, when it is foggy in the ice like that. Pretty sure she went down to the Arthur Kill and picked up a barge a few days later.
Thank you very much for watching. But please remember that we try hard to not "directly" name tugs, companies or customers as it gets me in trouble with my employer. CUOTO
@@TimBatSea Oh! Well in this case they were my clients not yours haha but will keep in mind 😀
I had a mental picture of you getting her up on plane.
On the inland river towboats we have flanking rudders. They make “walking” the boat and barge relatively easy.
Thank you very much for watching Tim. Oh yes. Flanking rudders would be nice at times. CUOTO
Good piloting there captain. 🍻
Thank you very much for watching and welcome to the channel. 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
Great tieup video, so many small adjustments needed.
Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
Well done, much enjoyed, thx Capt.
Thank you for watching. CUOTO
Love your videos. I learn a lot from watching. On this barge ,what is the ladder looking thing ,6 rungs ,on the right side ?
Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel Pete. That is the high level alarms for the 10 tanks. CUOTO
Just found your video channel.
Like it a lot, just like driving, you have to keep your eyes everywhere, to see what else is going on, very professional.
Re commentbon cw and ccw, wouldn't it be a boring world if we were all the same.
I'm in the UK, you have the same problem on your railways, sorry railroads, sleepers oops tyes.
Thank's

Good looking blue tug going by
Thank you very much for watching Karl. CUOTO
Most of your videos are over my head but I love the knowledge I have gained from you along with a new respect for the industry. You people really have skills. My question for you is have you ever gone through the Panama Canal and what was the process like. If you haven’t, is it on your bucket list.
Thank you very much for watching and welcome to the channel. Although the company I work for has sent a bunch of units through the Panama canal on their way the west coat ports, I unfortunately was never on one of those trips. I have always wanted to do it, but it is looking more likely that I'll be able to go through the locks on my own boat in a few years. (See TH-cam channel SV Paquita to follow along with us). CUOTO
I knew I recognized that barge just from the bent tv antenna and the hand rails 😂
Thank you for watching Matthew. CUOTO
Your really great at what you do Tim I am a engineer spent lot of time on Tugs
Thank you very much for watching and welcome to the channel Chief. CUOTO
On plane! I would like to see that.
😂😂😂😂 Thank you very much for watching. 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
Another stupid question from a Welsh sheep farmer , What is the short wide ladder thingy with rows of what look like old fashioned shed lights ? every fuel barge seams to have one .
Found your last trip on goggle earth , I had no idea that New York's harbour system was so vast , endless docks and container terminals . AWESOME .
Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel. That is the visual part of the high level alarms for the barges tanks. CUOTO
That was probably the sickest Rockford I have ever seen in a tug 😂😂
😂😂😂 Thank you very much for watching Travis. CUOTO
Cap'n, If given the opportunity, would you like to Captain a Missippi tug. That would make for some great tuggin video'!!!
Thank you for watching Barry. I have a few trips up past New Orleans, but I am no ricer guy. Those guys are really good. CUOTO
@@TimBatSea Could I suggest reaching out to Tim Tregle, who produces "Between the Levees" podcast. You would be a good guest.

Nice Boat, Tugboat stuff is cool.
💯! Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel. 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
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
As a former small yacht sailor, I dislike car transporters for another reason altogether. They are so big, tall, and slab-sided that they block all the wind so that you are becalmed right as the bow wave hits you! Well, that and the fact that any large vessel has a correspondingly large wake, so you get bounced around even more than you expect in the normal course of events, and the wake never hits you at the same angle as the seas and swell do, so you get that nasty cross wave corkscrew motion. It is much easier to handle with some wind in your sails though.
That looks like a whole different kind of challenge.
Thank you very much for watching and welcome to the channel. CUOTO
The fargo had cars loaded Heard some weren't lashed properly which helped caused it's disaster
Thank you for watching. CUOTO
New to the channel & I learned alot
Welcome to the channel and thank you for watching Jane! CUOTO
Excellent information from your Chief as you were attaching to the car carrier! Do you also have cameras assisting you during this process?
Thank you for watching Bob and welcome to the channel. No cameras to help with docking. (They can't be held responsible) 😂 CUOTO
Love your commentary. you sound like Ross from Friends.
😂😂😂 Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
Love the content… I was pushing Petro barges on the Great Lakes… Liquid Asphalt, VGP distilling products… Brokering a 150’ x 35’ beast now… Sub Chapter M, ABS classed… twin EMD 16’s… room for 10 crew… currently in Chicago… $1.5 Mil ? Can shift… Super for the Islands ?
Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel. I loved those EMDs but hated the Airflex Clutches. CUOTO
Always great to content appreciate everything you do
Thank you very much for watching and welcome to the channel. CUOTO
Thanks Cap’n
Thank you for watching Doc. 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
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
Hey Tim, Jersey loves ya’!
Thank you very much. I appreciate that! CUOTO
Those cranes were moving in the background. It created an optical illusion that made it look like you were zooming past the cranes.
Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel. CUOTO
Be great to get an overhead view of boat. Can’t imagine size of tug and what overall we are dealing with. From this view looks huge like you are pushing a barge in front of you. Need more cameras to get better understanding.
But I love how careful you are and doing everything slowly. Really like views of that disaster bridge collapse you slowly navigated Thur at such a slow speed not to effect those guys hanging up there cutting up bridge.
Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel William. You should be able to see what you are looking for in some of my Puerto Rican videos that were shot from a drone. We can't use a drone in NYC because we are close to the airport. CUOTO
nice captaining captain!
Thank you very much Micheal. CUOTO
That was a bit tricky, wasn't it? Nicely done!

Thank you very much for watching Jeffrey. CUOTO
It would seem that having bow thrusters or steerable pod drives would benefit the efficiency of this barge.
Thank you for watching Richard and welcome to the channel. It would and there are some barges with a bow thruster. But they are usually only economically viable in small harbors where getting an assist from a passing tug is rare. CUOTO
Get the suction cups in your barge saw on some docks no need for ropes
Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel. 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
