[DonTruman]

What's the job outlook, current and future, for tugboat crews and captains?

Hate the music but n

[Tara23721]

:P cool

[codyufc1]

how much do you make starting off?

[rdety]

god what terrible "music" oooooowwww ! my freakin ears!

[skipsassy1]

Get rid of the music and just tell us what you are doing. What makes people want to play background music in the first place? Otherwise a U.S. flag tug operation is interesting to us retired U.S. flag folks.

I do miss life aboard fulltime. Been working marine construction for 15 years since leaving the towing industry and great videos like this bring back fond memories. Still working on the water and get to do a little towing but it's not the same. If this vid was shot in the mid morning winter hours with ice building and the wind howling I might have said thanks for the reminder. Very cool vid.

the tug boat for its size is the most powerful craft to flaot and the tugboats are the ones that break off the big city port this is tug boats

[tugcrazy]

[peetu1982]

Great video... looks like i would want to work on their.

[wonkytits]

The deranged crap music kept me laughing, thanks!

[stormnut58]

must have been a light day, there was still some daylight left when they tied up to the pier.

[dougpine]

[seamermar]

Good work to all of you.

Do guys working on tugboats make good money? My cousin works on one, he wants me to join him. What qualifications do you need to work on a tug?

[tugboatworker]

Well your cousin wants you to join him eh. That is GREAT if you are just starting. Hop right in there. Its a perfect chance. I know how its like. Work hard on the tugboat and many tugboats provide training on the boat. My own expierence. Stick with the captain.

Named "ZP- Chandon ". Is thear anibody in the Us who now's this tug. befor she came to rotterdam she works in San Francisco Cal. pleas gif me a call

[dana60axle]

how old are those tractors? and what engines?

[martrex]

15 years. Caterpillar 3512 engines x 2 for each tug.

[mvrck606]

Cool. We are about to get two new ones. With 16/645/EMD E7 x2 i think. 6100 hp. Building it for LNG docking in Lake Charles Louisiana. Im working on a old rebuilt two screw with 5000 h.p. so its gonna be different ball game when we get those tractors.

[martrex]

EMD. Had those in an anchor handler I worked on in Gulf of Thailand, in the 90's. Two strokes. Terrific engine to work on. Only thing I didn't like about them... Noisey. But in a new building? Insist on good sound proofing around the engine room.

[nanajack7]

nie movie-stupid  song

[IsamwI]

That is a weird tug design. But a great movie!

[neils12]

Awsome I wish my rc tug can do that

[bugsier5]
