Towing a Ship into it's Berth

The RoRo ship ARC Defender is towed into the Port of Brunswick for berthing at Mayors Point. Moran Towing was there to bring the ship in with the power of the John T. Moran, Diane Moran and Ann Moran. These three tug boats made the job look easy as the huge ship was guided into position.

The Minorcan Mullet Air Wing was up with the drone to capture these images in 4K for you.

Watch as the Ship's Pilot directs the team from Moran Towing to bring the ship, as big as a building, into the berth.

Thanks for the filming, nice to see the docking procedures. Cool music as well.

I'm always amazed at how small the mighty tugs are in relation to the ships they manhandle

[terrypomatto]

Pretty interesting how the Jack T. swung sideways to get to the port side from the stern.

It's really amazing just how long/big those ships are compared to the size of the building. The tug Captains are truly amazing and how smooth they are pushing and pulling and know just how much power to apply. Thanks Capt. Andy!!!! BTW... getting any shrimping time in??

Everytime I see a long Ship it reminds me of the Dali always but Thanks so much for sharing its so interesting.

Another outstanding episode, thanks Captain Andy! The amazing paint jobs on ARC Defender & the tugs make me smile. In six months all of these ships will have wicked hawser and fender scrapes.

Those "egg beater" tugs are maneuverable, but the car carrier ships are the most unship looking things ever!

Some of your best video yet. Thanks for all the detail, especially tying up alongside the dock. The quality of the episode is stellar as is the music.

PS. Is the Pinova site completely cleared? Worthy of a video?

Keep an eye out for the SS United States will be leaving Philadelphia soon for the Gulf Coast of Florida to be sunk as an artificial reef. No one seems to know for certain when.

What does the “winch only” mean on the top deck?
