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.
how old are those tractors? and what engines?

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

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.
