- Hello guys,
Another dual camera movie, and this time with better sound.
Not allot of action in this video, but below are some timestamps to some events :
1:19 Winching out cable
4:28 Red Cedar engine ahead
7:15 Leaving te lock
9:15 Little bit of indirect towing to port-side
25:10 Indirect speed control (at that location the maximum speed allowed is only 4 knots because of ships that are moored on a pier)
25:44 The same indirect manoevre filmed from the port-side
Note : This time my colleague was controlling the tug (learning for captain).

That man has arms as wide as a tug boat! In all seriousness cool stuff, reminds me of the 'Slow TV' they have on NRK in Norway.
That ain't a man sir ;) it's a 'she' and she has short arms :-)
koopification oo bro come on stop joking it's split screen
lol funny
Once the ship moves forward, do you let it pull the tug along until a specific maneuver is needed? Always like yer vids.
Yep that's correct! We do however use our own power to sail astern, and follow the seaship.
Neat video. thanks for sharing.
Great video and piloting
Here's what I think I was seeing. Pilot turned the boat 90º to the forward movement and let the ship drag the tug along with the tug broadside providing the drag instead of using the power of the engines providing the drag. Is that correct? That is ingenious if so. There is a lot of drag sideways.
Good video. I like the last two showing control movement and to tell you the truth I really couldn't discern much difference in the sound from that first one to this. Both sounded like big time prime movers.... Thanks.
You are thinking correct! :) the tug is specially designed for that. It has a big 'keel' (skeg) at the stern that has allot of drag when pulled sideways thru the water. It's approx 15m long and 4m deep. At higher speeds the tug can pull allot harder using indirect towing instead of direct pulling.
Who’s operating the winch?
Hi. I have some questions if it is possible.
on 28.34 You are repositioning for indirect speed conrol. i noticed that you made almost full ahead both engines with the wheel almost hard to starbord. Did you give full ahead to make repositionig more faster or for something else? later you only use the wheel to keep the tug in perpendicular position.
as i understood from comments only dragging of the tug makes ships speed slower enough. if pilot will ask you to slow down ships speed more than 4 knots quickly. what you need to do?. reposition for indirect(direct) towing ?
thanks
Hallo mannen. Goed te zien uit welke haven jullie varen. Ik dacht eest dat het Rotterdam was maarnu weet ik het. Deze beelden waren een stuk beter dan de andere, maar wat uitleg zou nog mooier zijn. Ik ben altijd geintreseerd geweest in de sleep vaart, en had dat graag gedaan. Een vriend van mij was een schipper for de WGL en had een geweldige baan. Bedankt voor de video. Marcel Perth Australia.
Hallo Marcel, bedankt voor de leuke reactie :) welke uitleg zou je er nog bij willen, want voor mij is alles zo vanzelfsprekend dat ik het waarschijnlijk over het hoofd zie :)
Hoi. I begrijp dat een schip niet zomaar stil ligt maar het sch ligt vaak helemaal stil en dan moet hij een paar wentelingen geven om weer op gang te komen. Waarom wachten tot hij stil ligt, en geen stuuring hebben, Waarom word de sleeper agteruit getrokken. is dat voor betere stuuring.? Marcel.
Hey, nice vids! I wonder is it difficult to learn VSP if you have ASD experience?
super video
Much improved!
+cal raines Thanks ! If you have suggestions to make it even better i'm all ears :)
Just asking,..been there in 2008,towing barge out of port also with voith tug,..
In that time they had voiths without winch,ships lines on towing hook,...
We still have those tugs with towing hook tough :) on which tug did you work then? Or was is an outside company you were working for?
I'm not a Tug Captain .so I'm not familiar with bridge cintrols but looks to me that the Pitch and RPM control signs are located wrong
You mean the text? ☺
+Alex Lopez They're correct. Instead of controlling engine speed, the Voith prop blades are steerable, changing the pitch of the blades creates or diminishes thrust. I just did some research, it's a very interesting propulsion system. Instead of traditional props, there are vertical blades that spin, and the blade pitch can be changed to do what is needed. It looks like a giant egg beater.
Can someone please explain why it is a good idea to have a lifeboat free fall of the back of a ship when it's sinking!!! Crew better hope the back side is going down first 😂😂
I do not understand how you only have 4,000 subs. it doesn't make sense to me.
what do the yellow lights next to the throttles represent?
Those are the rpm controles of the main engines
Is this Port of Antwerp?
Yes it is. Why? :)
its a public place here,..will send u pm..
Roger that
you send picture you
you man...,? you woman...?
