Tug Boats in Action - How Large Ships enter Dublin Port!

Показать описание
Have you ever wondered how some of the larger ships enter Dublin Port?

“Primarily, ships that enter the port, particularly the bigger vessels, they’re very restricted in their ability to manoeuvre within the confines of the port.” The tugboats play a very important role in bringing in these larger ships. It is no small feat, but is achieved with much smaller boats and a whole team effort. Meet Paul Dorgan, Tug Master, and watch as he provides a unique insight into tug boat operations at Dublin Port!

A tugboat (tug) is a boat that manoeuvres vessels by pushing or towing them. Tugs move vessels that either should not move themselves, such as ships in a crowded harbour or a narrow canal, or those that cannot move by themselves, such as barges, disabled ships, log rafts, or oil platforms. Tugboats are powerful for their size and strongly built, and some are ocean-going. Some tugboats serve as icebreakers or salvage boats. Early tugboats had steam engines, but today most have diesel engines. Many tugboats have firefighting monitors, allowing them to assist in firefighting, especially in harbours.
