Tug Mamo - up close - docking a huge cargo ship

In Hawaii, almost everything arrives by ship, and docking that never ending succession of vessels is the job of the mighty tug s.

Few people ever give a thought to these hard working boats and captains who bring ships in and out of Honolulu Harbor on a never ending basis. And fewer still will ever ride on one.

Mamo is of the latest design with her props amidships instead of at the stern and this makes for some very surprising capabilities as you can see.

There used to be an older tug with the same name.

@Barnekkid that vid was from around 1998, was the older tug older than that?

Is this your video or did you pull it from TV?

If it is yours, good work.

@jjjjjjjj8 Yeah, the last time I saw it was in the late 70s, and it was an old boat then. Big one too.
