They are ready done it so it does not matter, you can debate it all you want but it is already done. Nothing happend and your expertise does not matter to these men. They work for me and will do as I say. Thank you.
The max speed of this tug is only 12.5 knt, but we got the advantage of the raising tide and you must take account that we are "surfing" on the wave caused by the bulbous bow of the car-carrier

Well,that is one of the best videos we have found on the fantastic youtube stream,We get those car carriers on the Fraser River,B.C. Canada,SMIT has 4 tractors up river,none work like this,this tug and crew are top notch, Smooth sailing for you.
Thanks for posting this video. Professionalism is almost always a pleasure to watch, especially when it involves big ships, tug boats, connecting them together or dealing with a problem (which was not the case, here). It does look like the ship is moving rather fast for the maneuver, but the tug is up to it, and they got it done expeditiously. What fun that would have been to watch.
I'm a pilot AND a tug master and there is no point in connecting to a vessel at that speed, especially if you are at full power, just to maintain position. What good are you to the pilot if you are smashed up? If the pilot has to maintain that speed to retain control then you need to wait before hook up. But, don't listen to me. Let's see what the court of inquiry says....
In this case, the tug is not necessary for towing but for manoeuvering. Ships of this size are very hard to handle in tight spaces like a harbour. A tug is needed to push/pull them to or from the quayside. That's why there is one at the stern of this car-carrier as well. The tug at the stern is used as a braking tug as well.
@@indridcold8433 they are usually not very powerful, used mostly for small maneuvers, but depending on the vessel they can be used to fully turn a ship
Physics... for a cargo ship it's a lot like trying to tip over a shoe box, though if the hull is more cylindrical (think of a log or a racing sailboat) then all bets are off. Racing sailboats hang heavy keels to improve their stability.
@pilotg2426 i agree with you, the tugboat isnt usefull if it's crash against the hull of the ship. But even without any accident at this speed the effect of the tugboat over the ship is almost none. The high speed is justified by local pilots due strong winds some days specially in autumm, but some days like the day of the video is only to save some time.
Hi! Is it possible for me to share this footage on my youtube page? I share footage from all kind of activities on our ocean. Cargo ships in the 1960s till now, oil rigs, fishing vessels, etc. Of course full credit will be given to the owner of the footage. Thanks in advance for your reply. Kind regards.
Well, if the ship would go that speed while we had to connect the tug, we would not come in front of that ship. That has to be like 11knots or so..... If the tug engines fail for a few seconds it's byebye tug.... nice video though !
Never seen a hook up at speed like that before... what was the reason? I'm assuming there was a problem or something which required this to be done under power like that.
Maybe they were attempting to hijack the vessel and had no idea how to go about that. Or they could be criminals and trying to avoid radar detection by hiding under the bow of the ship.
It's a new type of extreme water sport. In the least amount of time, your team tries to safely secure a line from the front of a speeding cargo vessel displacing tens of thousands of tons. Any mishap, and you & your crew will possibly be crushed by the bow of the oncoming vessel. This team here did an excellent job, and celebrated afterwards with shouts of triumph!!
Wow, There must be a safer way to do that!!! Love the fact the crew has no pfd on, Ive been a captain on tugs for quite sometime, and I can tell you that i would not be doing that, ever at that speed. Major accident waiting to happen!!!
I dont know the first thing about driving a tugboat, but that cant be safe. Engine dies, loose power, your S.O.L. . Hate to be the guy on the tug that falls overboard.
That thing (automobile carrier) is a floating bread truck. The cargo is very light for its size so for economy's sake the ship ends up as a huge balloon perched on top of a relatively small hull. Photo here shipphotos.co.uk[/]pages[/]hualtransporter.htm . Sometimes they do fall over. Google "Cougar Ace" .

@ omar hernandez: Because these huge ships have no clutch. When the engine is running, the screw is also turning. The ship immediately takes to ride and the braking distance is very long. That makes it impossible to maneuver in tight spaces.
Kellerkind38448 Hi guys, although the prop is turning they are variable pitch, meaning blades can change directions of thrust. All ships do a pitch test when in tight quarters, meaning changing pitch to see if every thing is operational.
@@hughtufnail302 Actually you mean controllable pitch propellors where the shaft does not stop, but the blade reverses from a forward to astern direction. Variable pitch means the pitch (distance of advance in 1 rotation) changes across the blade. Both my ships had controllable pitch propellors in the Navy. My merchant ship did not.
They are ready done it so it does not matter, you can debate it all you want but it is already done. Nothing happend and your expertise does not matter to these men. They work for me and will do as I say. Thank you.
I'm impressed! When the camera panned up after a bit and I saw the size of the ship I bout shat myself

Do bow thrusters help any, or are they too powerful for subtle adjustments?
@@indridcold8433 they are usually not very powerful, used mostly for small maneuvers, but depending on the vessel they can be used to fully turn a ship
@@viciousKev Thank you.
I wouldn't feel comfortable being that close in front of a huge ship that takes a long time to slow down.
Belle manoeuvre Captain !
Them engines sound good!
As good as a 3512's 'CAT !

Oooooh surfin the bulbous bow!

crazy skillfull tugmaster,the speed must be at least 12 knots.....

A good job The tug boat has a lot of work to do
All in a days work to these men, they would do it in the dark, wind, and rain at 3am, and think they were having a good time...
Good video.

Cool Video, thanks for sharing! Nice work.
Iron American Dream on TH-cam.
Heavy metal big Steel. America was built on iron. Countries are built on iron. I love ships
Do you get the feeling we're being followed?
Yes, but it's a feeling common in the tugboat business.
Never knew you could ski behind a container ship !
ma non è una di quelle barche che trasportano le grandi navi fuori dal porto?
А если карбюратор забарахлит на буксире
if the engine failed it wouldn't turn very well haha
It's only a nervous tix?
I don't get what they were doing, they clearly werent towing with that small rope.
Maybe they were attempting to hijack the vessel and had no idea how to go about that. Or they could be criminals and trying to avoid radar detection by hiding under the bow of the ship.

What's the worst that can happen?
Oh God!!! and there are people who think skateboarding extreme sport... =P
Faster!!! He's gaining on you!!!
What does the arm up mean?
It a universal sign for hello or goodbye

szuper

Easiest way to get a line over. Just dropped it down to um. No big deal. Just doing thier job.
@Brizbags : Hello, what do you mean with "is that a strog puller" ?
Strong
2017?
What if the screw on the Tug catches the rope and the engine dies ? SO DO YOU !
some say they're still trying to attach that rope properly to this day
Some say "If you don't know a fucking thing about something, then: SHUT THE FUCKING MOUTH IDIOT". But this is just an opinion from another idiot.
Que monstro de navio
Accident waiting to happen if ask me.
isso é um trem nos trilhos ou é um navio kkkkk
I don't get whats going on in this video....????
Don't tailgate, you wouldn't want it done to you.
Wow, that ship is breathing down that tug's neck.
Calm down jody

This is not brave,poor workmanship from the tug schipper and pilot.Men have no live jackets on deck and any engine failure on tug and she will turn.
I wonder where that is. The captain is an idiot to permit this.

Great view
Disputando o 1 lugar!!!!
Wake-Boarding for ships
what kind of ship is this?
+wkruit1 ok thk
Not the way to do it the tug boat skipper is a liability
Holy fuck there's a ship stern gating me
não entendi !!!!!
But why does a little boat need to tow a big boat?
It is actually adjusting the path of the large vessel. The large vessel is providing the majority of the thrust.
couldn't that camera-guy have changed his perspective a few times ? That's a boring one-way-view.
This is a normal job in Houston Ship Channel, except we actually drive backwards. Nice vid though
where ?
Ахренеть у них работа
Naviozão ta no gais...
Dont let off the throttle or run outta gas! Lol!
that a huge ship
foreward tug line made fast!
No audio*
Muita coragem.
what if that tug stalls , scary
Can you not go that at a slower speed?
Yes, there's no need to do that. That's not safe.
i could surf that bow wake.
i thought they crashed 😂😂😂
blue
Hi
Hello
Samsu Dheen hi..
quvole paisa... dame jale...
Lol they misspelled haul on the front of the ship
The tug boat hands were hooking up their main tow rope, while the Captain skillfully positioned the tug.
WHY SO DAMN CLOSE???? WTF
holy shit O.O
just a short word to this captain: man, you definitely earned your stripes
well that looks nerv racking
anyone seeing this in 2021
'
how fast knot this ship
that's a scary looking piece of shiP !
Very fine job. Very skilled capt. and deckhands.
Nice
На буксире да😁😁😁
Whoa.
this is scary
Santander!!!
looks like chicken race
Perigo heim
MIEDO CUERAJI THE AND , YES PERFECT
