Miss Stacy tugboat in trouble fights from getting sucked under bridge

Harbour tugboats are generally smaller and the width-to-length ratio is often higher, due to the need for a lower draught. In smaller harbours these are often also termed lunch bucket boats, because they are only manned when needed and only at a minimum (captain and deckhand), thus the crew will bring their own lunch with them. The number of tugboats in a harbour varies with the harbour infrastructure and the types of tugboats. Things to take into consideration includes ships with/without bowthrusters and forces like wind, current and waves and type of ships (i.e. in some countries there is a requirement for a certain amount and size of tugboats for port operations with gas tankers).

River tugboats
River tugs are also referred to as towboats or pushboats. Their hull designs would make open ocean operation dangerous. River tugs usually do not have any significant hawser or winch. Their hulls feature a flat front or bow to line up with the rectangular stern of the barge, often with large pushing knees.

I like how the rescue tug captain rips in there like he’s on a coast guard skiff

I hate when people spend 30 min recording the start but cut the end short.

I know nothing about boats, but I'm very impressed at how that Moran tug turned back into the current so smoothly and tightly, and then proceeded ever so slowly to draw that cable taut. The best pros in any endeavor make it look so easy. Hats off to that skipper.

Tugboat -definition -just enough boat to keep its engines floating

It is good for a tugboat to have good tugboat friends

That Moran Tug Captain knows his ship ! Nice "LINK UP" by a professional CREW ! When "SECONDS" really do count ! OUTSTANDING TEAM "M" !

great! What I like in a video!

Good, clear quality, exciting material, no stupid reporters blabbing on about things they know nothing about, no local yokel interviews, no LAME soundtrack, no FHRITPs, and ends on a satisfying note. Well done, sir!

Seriously fast current - "Miss Stacy" was not out of the woods. Looked like it was close to sinking.

Great Job, well done!

My father was a tugboat-captain in Kiel/Germany. When I was a young man, I loved to accompany him during those many different jobs which have to be done by tugs.
Navigating tugs during their actions requires really cold-blooded and skillful masters!

Clear thinking and bravery in the face of extreme danger. Hats off to both crews!

Tug boat crews have amazing skills. I used to work at Long Beach Naval Shipyard and witnessed a barge break loose from its mooring during a wind storm. The barge was being propelled toward a rock jetty that probably would have inflicted a lot of damage, but a quick-thinking tugboat operator and his crew raced across the harbor, lassoed the barge and brought it back to safety as if this was an everyday event. I was impressed!

Yay for the Eugene Moran! Just seeing her come on the scene must have been a relief. I crewed on Grace Moran at the Port of Philadelphia. Strong boats with beautiful lines, and the Moran colors are a classic. Great rescue...

I was forced to attend a ballet once; none of the dancers were as graceful as that Moran tug...

The tidal current on the Piscataqua River can be downright scary to a novice boater like me. I live about ten minutes north by boat, and have been under the old memorial bridge many times. The Moran tugboat crew, as usual, made it look easy. The crews of those tugs are absolute professionals :)
