What a beautiful ship. It’s amazing how those little tugs can move them around. Great team work.
We just purchased a Beautiful piece of FOSS history,...Lela Foss, built in 1965 (2nd version). New drivetrain, runs beautiful, She will Always be a Foss, and now she is a blessed part of our family as well.
as a leisure motoryacht? wonderful!!
@@eulero75 Yes, in a way. We also bought a 150 foot barge that we're building a house and boat garage on. Lela was built to tow that size barge so it was a perfect fit. Like a truck and travel trailer, anytime we want a change of scenery, we'll just hookup and go. Something we've had in our goals for years.
I walk along the water every evening and watch the sun set with a backdrop of the snow capped crowns of the Cascade and Olympic mountains in every direction. I love to watch the tugs work. Especially the FOSS boats. They really are incredible machines. These waters (Puget Sound) are rife with wales, marine mammals, naval vessels, car ferries, people ferries, massive cruise ships and container vessels, and even nuclear submarines conducting close shore maneuvers. To the detriment of the marine mammals a lot of sonar research is done in this area by the navy. Many distractions. Many responsibilities, but a very exciting place. I even enjoy watching the private yachts come and go from our local yacht club. With modern thrusters it is amazing how truly maneuverable those large vessels are, as well.
Hienosti kuvattu ja hyvin toteutettu video.
Excellent video quality!
Very touching video mate !
Very jewelry work of tugboats !
For Captain and for Crew the ship " Glory " only Happy Sailing and
7 feet under the keel ! Forever : 24*31*365*
Best regards , Vl'ado.

Great work. Thanks!
My Step dad growing up was a captain of a Foss tug, his name was Vern. He would leave for two weeks at a time and stayed in the Puget Sound area.
Amazing! Thanks 😊
I kinda miss those days when i used to work offshore
I got to ride on Henry Foss, sister ship the Andrew Foss, during the Seattle Tugboat races one year. Amazing tugs!
Henry is an advanced tractor it also has z-drive with the voith. the andrew is voith only
Sweet video, where was this shot from (i.e. a public park or port terminal)? Foss does work on the Columbia River as well.

looks like it was shot at elliot bay trail near pier 90 between Magnolia and Queen Anne looking south to downtown seattle.
Washington State has good reason to be very proud of this company.
V why is that?
@@chrisdillon8506 Because Foss is the best!
Id love to watch the bay at sunset, your lucky.
A different shiphandling techniques applied. Thanks.
Absolute grace. But you can also understand the power
It's like "Come on daddy, this way!" :D

As powerful as these tugs are they can be surgically gentle when necessary.
Seattle beautiful.
To me watching this it is like a mechanical ballet. The way Andrew Foss and the Pacific Knight work together is wonderful. The Foss looked like it was actually powering sideways as the ship moved out. How can that do that? Also, are the tires new tires? Truck tires on the sides and tractor tires front and rear? Happy Trails. Fun video to watch. Stay Safe
Pod drives, possibly Z drives, allow for 360 degree thrust and are far more efficient than traditional inboard shaft, propeller and rudder systems. The tug appeared to be moving diagonally with thrust directed at about 30 degrees off its centerline to starboard so it could drive its stern into the starboard bow of the ship and did you notice it looked like the tug's captain kept his stern in the same place, no apparent slippage as the ship began moving under its own power. The other tug had moved from port side towards the rear of the ship to the stern to assist in getting the ship moving forward and well away from the dock. Professionally done by all concerned.
nice video!!

釜石烈色9わきU…訪炙み外?嬲垣史曜の旁釵垣史?だよね
very impressed
Foss looks like it has some pretty large tugs especially with that big exhaust stack on the tug Andrew Foss
They have EMD engines which are basically locomotive engines...hence the need for a large stack...
You should see Lauren Foss in Neah Bay. She’s a beast.
Foss tug draws 16ft of water with the big wheel underneath.
This is a great puff piece but every one forgets that the ex cons at Foss Rainer hazed me so hard that I was physically afraid too show up too work in nineteen ninety eight as a welder.
So powerful!
That Foss tug sure has lots of tires. Must give it lots of much needed traction.
It is a tractor tug.................
저도 터그보드에서 근무하고 있습니다 이 영상보니까 반갑습니다
so other than the driver these tugs have no crew?
Such a great job these tug captains do unbelievable skills.
1 badass boat!
that tugboat has alot of tires, hope they dont get a flat and sinl
Wonder where that compressed air sounds are coming from...
Train tracks are near the Grain Terminal
nice video
Nice 360° prop on that baby
It looks so easy , when you know how !
Amazing indeed
Notable...¡lo mueve "sin transpirar" !.
Foss has been around for many a year
Good job
I knew it had to be The Northwest: Mt. Rainier gave it away.
Good eye.
Fun when sailing...
Great outfit, worked with them,@ around them, met Pat Foss in th 70s.
Anyone help me for joining marchent nevy....i have indian cdc.
That Foss tug reminds me of our C-Tractor we have at work, drives backwards for operations. Is that Foss a Z drive or a Voith?
Reduxalicious Voith
Prachtig.
Sounds like someone is snorkeling
I miss being a part of that world I'm a land lover
What’s that sound at 0:01?
Good business how much they charge 😁
Woww👍👍👍
Meshing,, good job..
For those tugs we must keep them in service
Otherwise ships will crash
So tugs must continue doing their jobs
So that’s good.
i wanna do that
K hiểu lý do gì ma tàu kéo nhỏ này phải luồi đẩy tau lớn như z.ma không phải đẩy tới.
Nice
Does anyone know how many propellers each of the Foss tugboats feature?
Erik Weseman ..Most port tractors have twin set 3/4 bladed screws that are mostly ducted to improve output ..Though honestly widely now days tugs /Tractors of any class are powered an propelled by an amazing range of greatly flexible technology especially 360° Capacity azi pods.
The Andrew Foss uses two Voith-Schneider propulsion systems (though not doing it justice, think of a giant egg beater). The Pacific Knight is just standard two propeller (twin screw) tug.
Dat Seahawks stadium in the background doe
Dang: good eye.
das ist ein schöner Film von einen Hafenschlepper
Heri. Romadho mau ke bandung ya

Ok mantap pos mengerjakan tugas sampe clear
ممتاز
Why is the tug doing so much hissing?
+jim knox The shifting controls use air lines I believe.
That's the Air Controls for the Winch Brake.
I am pretty sure Foss tugs use hydraulics winches, there are several train tracks near the grain terminals, I am sure a train is sitting there, relief valves releasing.
A ship with an American flag and registered in Hong Kong? Interesting
They fly the flag of what country they are docked in
@@theblockhead40kd You're right. I apologize.
No worries
Why can't the big girl leave under her own power? Too shallow?
Ryan Fisher there's no bowtrusters, the Rudder only goes aproximatly 30 degrees each way and it might be shallow making it hard to manouvre. Some (probebly most) ports also oblige sea going vessels to take a certain amount of tugboats depending on how big or manouvreable they are, for safety reasons.
Atleast in antwerp (Belgium) it works that way.
It is obligatory in American waters to have pilotage on board as well at least 2 tug bots. As per OPA and other USGC regulations. Of course as well for the constrained draught, for the limited rudder angle that it has and etc.
Never worked on a tug before it would be nice to
So easy with no wind no rain no waves....
Sunny days are not every days. This job can be.......

1933 movie Tug Boat Annie:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tugboat_Annie
About THEA FOSS and her establishing the Foss Tugs.
did he died
When foss got the new tractor tugs, and when they move the salt ships with old tugs three or four tugs two tractor tugs move them. 14,000 HP.
Pilot station pilot station can you hear me over
