- Cruise Ships need fuel and a lot of it. So instead of going to the gas station, the gas station goes to the Cruise Ship.

Absolutely fascinating! Thank you from a 77 year old woman who still maintains and sails a 50 year old ketch (built by my late husband and me) and is in lifelong love with all things nautical. I wish I could handle my 32 footer as superbly as you handle those barges. After a lifetime around boats, including earning a living on them, I never stop learning and your channel is a university of ship handling!
TIM! There really are women viewers here, contrary to what you think..
All It Takes Is patience and practice
😂😂😂😂 Peter!
Thank you very much for watching Janet. I appreciate your kind words. CUOTO
Mr Mobil from Glenwood landing here good to be back missed your videos.
63 yr. old woman here, love your channel, always educational and entertaining to see a true professional who loves his job at work.
Thank you very much for watching Dianne. CUOTO
A tug captain has a surgeons touch..beatiful
Thank you for watching and for your kind words. CUOTO
@9:08 - Everything about that approach, maneuvering and line throw was with authority. Nice.
Thank you for watching. CUOTO
Im a girl. I watch your channel! Ships, trains, planes, trucking, heavy haul, i enjoy it all.
Woohoo! We found another! 😂 Thank you very much for watching Yoleen. CUOTO
me too!
sorry, I am just another guy, probably subscriber guy number 67,352
yes
😂😂@@silentepsilon888
It’s funny. I was an aboard cruise 🚢 ship and watched you from top balcony down on your exercise experience ! ❤❤❤ 🎉
Wow! What a coincidence? Thank you very much for watching and welcome to the channel. CUOTO
@@TimBatSea
Yeah 👍
I don’t recognize at first glance. After watching this episode again I remember blue tugboat being helpful.
One way to explain "in clutch" to folks who don't know boats, it's the equivalent of putting your car in drive and letting off the brake but not touching the gas, just rolling along slowly.
Yes! 💯 Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
@@TimBatSea what does CUOTO mean?
@@SteveV6206 see you on the one
@@TimBatSea Thank You. Love the Channel.
I'm one of the women who find your channel fascinating! I'm always grateful for whatever videos that you film for us. Keep up the good work!
Woohoo! We found another! 😂 Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
@@TimBatSea Just like you, I assumed this place was a sausage fest. What a relief to see some ladies out there appreciate this as much as I do! Ladies, thank you for joining us and CUOTO! Tim, thank you and CUOTO!
Thanks Tim enjoyed the video and you explaining to us non tug boat viewers what the objective is and the steps involved.
Thank you very much for watching and welcome to the channel. CUOTO
Fantastic Capt. It always amazes me that cruise ships never seem to tell you well in advance where the fuelling port is, in this case three doors very close together though. The superb colours definitely match your super paella. 😂 CUOTO
😂😂😂😂 Thank you very much for watching and supporting the channels Norm. CUOTO
I must admit. I always watch the tugs when I go on a cruise. I think they are great.
Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel. CUOTO
That's was quite brilliant Captain. Must have been quite something to see Captain Sully landing an Airbus on that river. Thanks for the video Sir, really enjoyed it.
Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel. CUOTO
Back on the hudson. You do get around ❤ this was so interesting to watch.
Thank you very much for watching Betty! CUOTO
@26:38 Spoken like a true trucker!!😂 Y'all tugmen are the "truckers of the rivers". That's hilarious.
😂😂😂😂😂 Thank you very much for watching and welcome to the channel Shaun. CUOTO
Awesome video. My wife and I cruise a lot and I'm one of the dudes that lives watching the tugs do their thing.
Thank you very much for watching Steve. CUOTO
Teamwork makes the dreamwork. Nice job Captain.
Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
Lol I was on the ship , thought that was you in the wheel house. Great job getting it in current was strong. Last week when the ship came in they managed to scrape the starboard side along the pier.
Oh wow! I didn't know about that. Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel Thomas. CUOTO
How did you like that ship?
@@billdivine9501 Thank you very much for watching and welcome to the channel Bill. It was a cruise ship, so..... Yeah. Nice ship. CUOTO
The amazing thing is that the how small the USS Intrepid looks compared to the cruise ship. Back when she was built they were considered to be one of the largest ships ever built! Great video!
Very true! Thank you very much for watching and welcome to the channel. CUOTO
Admire the working relationship with the assist tug. Like a well choreographed dance. 👍🇺🇸
Thank you very much for watching and welcome to the channel. CUOTO
Here is what I think you should do: Exactly what you are already doing, it’s great! I like the cameras you already have, don’t need more.
Thank you Billy!!!!! I wish everyone thought the same way you and I do. 😂 CUOTO
As a sideline, you could offer hull scrubbing services on those lifeboats. I see that on all the "newer" cruise ships where the lifeboats overhang quite a bit. Difficult to see the ships side at the waterline when coming alongside. Great skills throwing the line to the bitts in the side. We call em dutch bollards, or sunken bitts.
Thank you very much for watching and welcome to the channel. CUOTO
Thanks Cap’n👍🏻
Thank you very much for watching Doc! CUOTO
Hi Captain Tim!
Got any Paella left over?
Do they still have an SR-71 on the Intrepid?
Seeing the cruise ship next to the Intrepid really shows just how obscenely large the cruise ship really is.
In the shadow on the side of the ship I see somebody's radar spinning. That's not yours, is it?
Thank you for watching and supporting the channels Mellissa. Paella was consumed. The SR-71 (actually it's an A12, the CIA's previous version of the SR-71) is still on the Intrepid. CUOTO
Thanks for sharing, Tim! :-)
Funny: early in the video you say you'll switch off the radar, so as not to radiate anybody on the cruise ship. Than seemed quite considerate to me. However, late in the video its shadow on the life boat shows the radar still turning. - Well, turning and emitting aren't technically connected, but I'd expected them to be on the same switch and switch position. ;-)
Thank you for watching Chris. Yes we have two radars onboard. The lower house had it's radar on stand by. CUOTO
That deck hand nailed that Panama!
We went out on the Liberty out of NOLA this last May but no excitement like this!
😂😂 Thank you very much for watching.. CUOTO
I imagine how it was when steam launches were running here and there and steam tugs were king 😊
Oh yes! And many more than today. Back then, the boats and barges were much smaller, but were many more than today. CUOTO
Aww gee let's radiate them 🤣 Hey there Tim. You are fun, very informative in a detailed and entertaining way. Love your personality and channel. The music and production is great too. We learn from your work being that I bet most of us here have never done your type of job and will never even step foot onto a barge in our lifetime. Teamwork is vital when working with so many variables as you do. Oh I'm a woman who always love anything technical, trucking, trains, ships, mechanical, hydraulics, cranes, working with tools, etc. I want to check out the museum with all the space stuff there now. Sounds like fun. Safe travels.
Thank you very much for watching! I really appreciate it. You'll love the Intrepid. CUOTO
Thanks Captain for showing us your work and explanations. I'll probably never be working on a tug, cause I'm about your age but all technicalities are welcome, they help us understand what you are doing. Thanks again.
Thank you very much for watching Karl. CUOTO
Another 63yo woman here. i’ve been watching your channel on and off for about three years now. I definitely understand what it’s like to have a successful channel and try to launch a new one. My popular channel is about my helicopter flying, but the channel I’m working on now is about cruising in my Ranger Tug. I got my six pack captains license last October and just finished the Great Loop (mostly) solo earlier this week. Those channels created by the young and beautiful are nothing compared to what knowledgeable older folks like us can create drawing upon years and years of experience. Keep up the good work here and there. I’m not a sailor but I’ll check out that other channel.
Thank you very much for watching Maria. I'm not a sailor either, although I hope that one day I'll have learned enough to call myself one. CUOTO
The cool thing is that Intrepid is 3 or 4 museums in one. You have the ship, the WW2 and Vietnam history, the aircraft collection and the Shuttle with space stuff. And then there’s the sub and Concorde as cherries on the cake
💯!! Crisálida and I went there last month and loved it! CUOTO
Hey Cap… this one reminds me of the years back when I used to also operate tugs and bunker vessels for our national oil company in the Gulf of Paria Trinidad and Tobago🇹🇹. The only difference is we mostly hip towed our barge.. capacity around 4000 + bl of fuel oil, diesel and the capability to blend what ever the customer wants. Her name is Marabella , she was brought here by Texaco to work in their marine opps @ Pointe-A- Pierre back in the day… her original name was Golden Condor
Very cool. Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel. CUOTO
Nice job backing the tug up. Awesome.
Thank you for watching Paul. CUOTO
The explanations were nice. Appreciated.
I've heard you talk about putting the engine in "clutch" in a few videos. I always imagined you stomping on a huge clutch pedal (like in a manual transmission car, but 10x bigger because a tugs engine is so much bigger...).
Thank you very much for watching. Yes, clutch is minimal power. CUOTO
That's crazy because I just recently had family members aboard that ship a couple weeks ago. I was supposed to go but unfortunately wasn't able. Love the videos and never knew you was into aviation because that makes two of us. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing the videos with us all.
Wow! Thank you very much for watching and welcome to the channel. CUOTO
Been on the Intrepid before and in that slip with the Disney Fantasy in 2012. Good memories of the aera, especially since I'm from CT.
Thank you for the ride, Captain.
Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
I miss seeing the twin towers in the skyline. I don’t live in the area but every time I see shows on TV and in movies showing the twin towers I am always in awe on how glorious they were. Rest in peace to all the life’s lost.. blessing’s to all the survivors and the courageous men and women in uniform that were involved.
Thank you very much for watching and welcome to the channel Aaron. CUOTO
Capt'n TimB ... I am amused that now I know your channels "original hidden agenda" ... who would have thought that LOL
Another educational, interesting and entertaining video Tim ... we enjoy your sense of humor as much as we respect your command skills. Stay safe. CUOTO
Thank you for watching George! CUOTO
Oh hum drum. A pleasure watching nice and nimble ship handling. No pucker factor today. And great explanations.
Sometimes, I get lucky. Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
It’s funny the cruise ship calls for you early but wait till the last minute to poke there heads out, back in my Navy days we where on station at least a hour before T&B arrived for our 10,000 bbl loads. I hated it cause we only got it at 650 gpm, made for a long 10 to 12 hr day, dam we had liberty girls waiting for us in the PI. 🎉🎉😂😂😂
Thank you very much for watching and welcome to the channel. It is rather common to have a ship with poor communication between the bridge and engine room. CUOTO
In the vein of *_Anchorman,_* if you are new here, the assist tug is named ‘Steve & Dan’ (or maybe Don) after the first 2 ‘dudes’ to ever subscribe to Tim’s channel. They live in San Diego now which means ‘a whale’s…’
(Dann Tugs & the Dann family has a long & rich maritime history, I’m sure Mr. Stephen was a good guy, after all he did get a tug named after him …Sorry Tim, but the ‘dude’ comment caught me off LOL guard & cost me a uniform shirt this morning 🧑✈️)
😂😂😂😂😂 10 points! "My apartment smells of leather bound books and rich mahogany" 😂 You know me well if you are quoting R Burgundy!!! 😂 Thank you for watching
CUOTO
I consider myself Lucky to watch you do your Job... And very well.. I am 45+ years at sea and still learn from you...
Thank you very much for watching Sam. I really appreciate your kind words. CUOTO
Definitely a subscriber Captain after watching some of your videos I'm a retired 44-year Long Haul trucker so I love content so much stuff that you never see or get a chance to see and I love your history on all the world war stuff I'm a junkie on everything that's War history related love it
Thank you very much for watching. I appreciate your kind words. CUOTO
I took a cruise out of the Manhattan terminal and I watched the refueling process and was fascinated to see how long the whole process takes. Thanks for all you guys do to ensure we have a good trip!
Thank you very much for watching Jordan. CUOTO
Have been on the intrepid a few times and your right the shuttle is awesome. Great upload
Thank you very much for watching and welcome to the channel. CUOTO
First time here. Impressed by your skill level of negotiating your ⛴️ boat 👏👏👏
Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel John. CUOTO
@@TimBatSea I’m fascinated by ordinary people and the skills they possess. I applaud you Tim 👏👏. John from Ireland 🇮🇪
So much for the sparkling entertainment on a cruise liner... Let's watch a fuel bunkering instead..
Later, we can watch some paint or varnish dry on the top deck!
I can never understand the mentality of people who go cruising, as I much prefer to have a base on land to go exploring from..
Travelling on the local bus is my preferred mode of transport - a few years ago, even having a kid goat on my lap!
That was Corfu, highly recommended place to visit. Stayed the nights in Benitses but went to play dominoes and checkers in Palaiokastritsa.
They make you speak English there, because they all want to speak it. Highly commend the local wine.
😂😂😂😂 "we'll be performing just over the port side of tte ship!" 😂 Thank you for watching Peter. CUOTO
It's not about the destination, it's about the journey. - 30 year cruiser
I have seen it in person in New York. It was debarkation day still on the ship and I looked out on my balcony and the bunker ship was there ready to refuel.
Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel. CUOTO
I’ve probably got more years on refueling details during my Naval career than most people have years married lol. Pretty cool to see from this point of view, thanks for sharing!
Thank you very much for watching Greg. CUOTO
I have been in and out of Chelsea Piers many times on the Costal Cruise Ship. That tide really rips through there. Timing the tide is everything with all that petroleum you are carrying around! Nice job.
Thank you very much for watching Michael. CUOTO
You always make it look so easy Captain. Thank you!
Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
Very slick the way you backed the barge into that narrow space. And yes I would believe the money you’re putting into the Pequita. I used to own a Newport 30 MkII sailboat out in San Francisco. You have to love ‘em.
Thank you very much for watching Ralph. Yes! Paquita is finally back in the water! CUOTO
Love your channel Tim. Thank you as always!
Thank you for watching. CUOTO
I used to do bunkering as a tanker man. Cruise ships were always my least favorite. Trying to make sure you don’t hit a pane of glass or lifeboat with the crane, we would cover our fenders with white tarps so we wouldn’t leave any marks. Etc. straight terminal move work now.
Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel Daniel. CUOTO
This is amazing to see - I've taken so many cruises and have never thought to search on TH-cam for how this sort of thing works. Thanks so much for showing us this!
Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel Fraser. CUOTO
this is amazing the skill and teamwork that goes into this its a thing of art good job captain
Thank you very much for watching and welcome to the channel. CUOTO
That is a good looking assist tug. Loved listening in.
Thank you Betty. CUOTO
I've always wanted to be a tug boat captain. At this point in my life I realize it ain't going to happen. So, I'll captain vicariously thru you Tim.
😂😂😂 Welcome aboard! Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
I get nervous watching you back in there!
😂😂😂 Me too! 😂 Thank you very much for watching and welcome to the channel. CUOTO
Hey Tim, I'm a Great Lakes sailor. Lake Michigan and Superior. When we visited the Pensacola Air museum we met the CEO and when we told him where we were from he excitedly walked us over the the only bird in the barn with combat history. The plane had been salvaged from lake Michigan and completely restored. All the navy pilots did their carrier training on lake Michigan. (WW2) They converted two "lakers " into flat tops. Over two hundred aircraft, retired from combat, went into the lake during training. Very interesting story. No ride to fight here on the lakes, just wind and river current. Thanks!!
Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel John! Wow! What an amazing story? CUOTO
I had a friends Father that worked for NY Central in the late ‘60’s who took us out on a tug from NY down to Port Newark. His boat was steam powered.
Very Cool! Thank you again for watching. CUOTO
TimBatSea!!! I am going on that exact ship this month next July. This lady will be on her balcony saying hello if you're around. Great video!
Outstanding! Looking forward to seeing you! Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
You do this for a living so it’s not a big deal to you but to a man in southwestern Pennsylvania who is 4 hours from the Chesapeake Bay, this is fascinating to watch. It would be awesome to spend a day on tug
Thank you very much for watching and welcome to the channel. That would be fin, but unfortunately we are not allowed to even have visitors on the tug. CUOTO
Pretty slick boat handling!
Thank you very much for watching Charlie and welcome to the channel. CUOTO
The funny thing here is that whether you pick fuel in the gulf, from Port Reading or what we get here in East Tennessee, it mostly comes from the same refineries.
Thank you for watching Larry. CUOTO
Thank You. Good Seamanship there Sir. All My Respect from an old Sailor.
Thank you very much Garry. I appreciate that. CUOTO
Nice touch there Captain.
Thank you very much for watching Matt. CUOTO
You really are a master craftsman at what you do. It is so enjoyable to listen to you as you calculate the precise maneuvers. This was a very enjoyable video to watch. Keep up the great work! Oh, and about the folks wanting the other angles. I hear you, you need to take care of the barge first! One idea might be to check into some fixed cameras so all you need to do is set it and forget it before you journey out and take the sd cards out when you are back at the dock. Pay a young kid a few bucks to sync it all up... That way you stay focused on the barge but we get more angles :) Take care Tim.
Woohoo!!! Thank you very much for watching and for hooking us up! Cheers 🍻 CUOTO
For not having done this for a while, you’re definitely doing a great job. I would say that was a pretty successful hook up. Well done to all involved support.👍👍🇨🇦
Thank you very much for watching Rick. Every once in a while I get lucky. CUOTO
Fantastic job as always Cap'n . How close was your superstructure to the ships lifeboats?
Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel Matt. It always looks like I'm going to hit those boats but when we get there, it is never as bad as I thought it would be. CUOTO
When people ask what you're doing just tell'em I'M FREAKIN WORKIN OVER HERE!😂😂😂
Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel. CUOTO
Smooth as silk Tim. Thanks
Thank you for watching William. CUOTO
I am on a cruise ship now...but no Capt Tim on the horizon.😢
😂😂😂😂 Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
People are just never satisfied what they think is that you have a production company with you you know. 🙏❤️🥰
😂😂😂😂 💯!!! Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
And I worry about piloting my 6.5x15 metre houseboat on protected waters here in South Australia. Man that's a lot of metal!
Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel. I appreciate your kind words. CUOTO
Love your style Tim!
Thank you very much for watching and for the kind words Paul. CUOTO
I was just watching some of the travel vloggers on the Venezia and now this shows up in my feed.
TH-cam sure finds some interesting things.
😂😂 Thank you very much for watching and welcome to the channel. CUOTO
The whole getting into position video was truly fascinating, but I also would’ve loved to see at least a little bit of the fueling operation, hooking up hoses, whatever. I have always wondered and I thought I was gonna get to see it this time but no joy.
Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel Rick. Probably never any joy on that front. There are a number of things I can't film. Fueling is one of them
CUOTO
@@TimBatSea Ahh, I see. That hadn’t occurred to me, but now that you say it, it makes perfect sense that things like that are not allowed to be filmed. Needless to say, it shan’t keep me from becoming a Patreon member. 😉
@@rickpawl outstanding! We look forward to welcoming you aboard Rick! CUOTO
Nice to see you on the north river again. 👍
Thank you very much for watching Jim. CUOTO
If you are ever in South Jersey, the museum at the Naval Air Station-Wildwood is a worthy stop. It keeps improving over the years and now attracts drop in "visitors" from all the military air services. NAS Wildwood was an air training site during WWII.
Thank you very much for watching and welcome to the channel. I would like to check that out. CUOTO
"What are you doing?" 😂
Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel. We are bringing fuel to a cruise ship. CUOTO
Navy Vet. 88-95. Desert Storm. You got a new fan!!!!
Thank you very much for watching and welcome to the channel. CUOTO
Well done Capt nice slow and steady always works. Thanks for great video
Thank you for watching Jay. CUOTO
Tell them you're picking up all the bodies out of the water.... OR NOT! But after seeing your new channel I see you leaving the
power boat realm for a sailboat. That's got to have some deeper meaning(s)? Ahh, but I can wait -n- watch for all of that.
Remain safe & GB ALL
Thank you for watching and trying out the SVPAQUITA channel. If you notice, much of my boat handling relies on my reading the wind and tide. This is something that translates well to the sailing world. Oddly, I have learned so much more about handling barges since I've started sailing. I believe it has made me a much better boat handler. CUOTO
I did not think before asking you, A real Captain, that question..... What you said only makes perfect sense about
reading the wind -n- waves..... Wind/Water currents are difficult at best to see >> You have those Eyes, be safe.
Great manovering 🎉 all ship shape and Bristol Fashion 😮
Thank you very much for watching and welcome to the channel. CUOTO
Just went to the intrepid a couple months ago. Of course it poured rain and we had already checked out of our hotel and were on our way to Newark to fly home. Had wet shoes all the way home. But the museum was awesome.
That's a great story you will never forget. Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
I like these types of videos Tim. You greased her in pretty good.
Thank you for watching. CUOTO
Absolutely amazing putting the barge in there.
Thank you very much for watching and welcome to the channel. CUOTO
OK Tim... Next time you're filming pulling up to a crise boat & there's a bunch of dudes watching... Get laced up & walk out of the wheel house, Give a good Maine yell.... BEER DILEVERY!!! Extra points if you post it here!
😂😂😂😂 Thank you very much Jon. That would be funny. CUOTO
Happen across your channel. Retired harbor tug Captain enjoyed your video makes me miss my old job.
Thank you very much for watching Cap and welcome to the channel. We need your kind here on the channel. CUOTO
Thx for another! Born in Manhatten; glad we moved to PA years ago.
Thank you very much for watching and welcome to the channel. CUOTO
Everything seems so slow motion, until you consider the mass involved. As a pilot, I've got nothing but respect for marine captains and what they deal with.
Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel. It's funny because all I do is watch you guys and have nothing but respect for what you guys do. CUOTO
Can you do a video on the managerial aspects of the job? For instance, how you get your tasking/dispatching, how you do your route planning, coordination with the company etc?
Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel. Not owning the company, I film at my employer's discretion. CUOTO
26:41 We used to have fist fights for the big eyes in the Navy😆
😂😂😂😂😂 Thank you very much for watching Stephan. CUOTO
Please don't scuff my ship, lol, I own a metric ton of stock 😂😂
