  • When the vessel comes out of dry dock it doesnt use its engines,its pulled via wires with a winch.in this case the dry dock winches to fast which causes the wires to part.the only job for the tug is to hold the vessel into the tide.when it happend a guy at the drydock got seriously hurt when the wire parted.

  • R u serious?the river is about 50m wide.the tugs purpose is to hold the vessel into the tide and let it swing round when its out of dry dock.

  • It's not there to pull it out

  • Great yarmouth

  • The tug was useless as it's propeller wash on the vessel's hull counteracted it's pulling. It should have been pushing on the port side. It's a mistake I've seen many times in many ports all over the world.

  • what an idiot he cant even dock a ferry HOW DID HE GET HIS LICENCE

  • Your Gonna Need a Bigger Boat

  • @Yachite Wow, you seem to know a lot about boats. May I ask what you do for a living so that I know what job to strive for in order for me to have a yacht of my own? THANK YOU!

  • @straka88 I found it incredibly entertaining and educational.

  • @jimbos4 What was the mistake then? Did the yacht captain accelerate improperly? Did the tug boat screw up their job?

  • Quick throw the bumpers out on the port bow.

  • my eyes skipped right over "boat" to the word "crash" so i thought this video might have been "interesting"

  • oooops......

  • the tug's line was way too short once the boat was off the dock… then again a secondary tugging (not necessarily 2nd tub boat) boat should have had a line on the starboard rear and pull it to put it in line once in the canal while the tug in front could have paid out his own line…
