GMAP newsletter: Harbour Towage
September 2022
A harbour tug, more commonly known as a tugboat, is a secondary boat that helps in the mooring or berthing operation of a ship by either towing or pushing a vessel towards the port.
A tug is a special class of boat without which mega ships cannot get into a port.
Along with the primary purpose of towing the vessel towards the harbour, tugboats can be engaged in providing essentials like water and air to the vessel.
