MagicTyger is correct, their is only two crew on board.

The tug is an ASD (azimuthing stern drive) tug. We call it a 'Z' tug, due to the drive system configuration. It has two 4 bladed propellors, 2 metres in diameter. The props are circled by 'thrust rings' which concentrate the thrust, adding to the tugs specified bollard pull of 50 tonnes. They are highly manoeuvrable and a blast to operate!

How many crew on board

Two, I think. That's all I could see when we were watching them. You could always ask wavepiercer (click on his link below) - he operates one.
