Friday 4 June 2010: A Real Tug

Forget all the modern super tugs with 280 tons bollard pull and three Dynamic Positioning Classes. This is how it all started, one main engine, one propeller, no bowthruster and last but not least, no computers and a lot of wood and copper to be polished. I love it. When I retire, I buy myself a tug like this, just to forget to supertugs and go back to the basic.
