Harbour Tug Boat
When cargo ships reach the destination port after thousands of nautical miles, there is still a difficult section ahead of them. This is where the harbour tow boats come into play, which take command and safely pull the giant ships to the dock. The trolling boats do not absorb load, but are used to recover and bend large tankers and cargo ships. The small, robust but very manoeuvrable ships feature a very strong machine from 250 to several thousand HP. Their command bridges are designed as high structures to ensure a good all-round view for safe guidance through the narrow port area. Rear, bow and side walls are usually reinforced and additionally equipped with braiding.
