Articulated Tug Barges (ATB’s) are a specialized vessel configuration used for transporting cargo. The “unit” typically consists of a high horsepower vessel and a barge with a stern notch. The tug is connected to the barge with a hinged coupler system that enables the tug to pitch fore and aft independently while being connected on a fixed horizonal axis. This gives the unit increased maneuverability and efficiency. The U.S. Articulated Tug fleet currently consists of 152 vessels with an average age of 20.4 years. The majority of the fleet (85.4%) is dedicated to moving clean / dirty petroleum products and 70.4% operates along Gulf Coast and East Coast ports. The average horsepower of these vessels is 6,385, with 61.8% over 5,000 horsepower. 40.7% of vessels are powered by EMD engines. Current Data provides detailed information about this fleet with its Tugboat Module. This module focuses solely on “model bow” vessels (both inland and offshore) operating in the United States. The following vessel types are included in the Tugboat Module: · Ocean Tugs · Tractor Tugs · Model Bow Tugs · Articulated Tugs · Conventional Harbor Tugs · Deck Lugger Tugs In addition to the Tugboat Module, Current Data provides detailed information for the following vessel types: · Inland Tank Barge · Inland Towboat · Coastal/Harbor Tank Barge · Inland Hopper Barge For more information, please contact info@currentdata.net to schedule a demo of the platform. #tankbarge #inlandwaterways #inlandmarine #towboats #barges #towboaters #maritime #jonesact #pushboats #shipping #towboatlife #inlandtowing #offshoretowing #waterways #shipyards #coastaltowing #offshore #tugboat #tugboats #harbortug #maritimeindustry #shipassist #tugs #tugs

Ever wanted to learn more about tugboats? 🚢 They might be small, but these powerful vessels play an essential role in assisting much larger ships like cargo containers, bulk carriers, chemical tankers, and even cruise ships to safely and efficiently maneuver into and out of ports. From the first tugboat, the Charlotte Dundas, to modern tugboats equipped with engines boasting up to 27,200 horsepower, these fascinating vessels have a rich history and a critical function in the maritime industry. Tugboats can both push and pull, making them highly versatile and indispensable in various operations. Here are some intriguing aspects about tugboats: - **History:** The first tugboat was powered by a Newcomen steam engine and introduced in 1736. - **Functions:** From towing and pushing ships, providing supplies, acting as rescue boats, to breaking ice, tugboats are truly multi-functional. - **Power:** A tug's strength comes from its propulsion system and engines, which can range from 680 to 27,200 horsepower. - **Types of Tugboats:** Harbor tugs, ocean tugs, river tugs, escort tugs, salvage tugs, among others, each designed for specific tasks and environments. Whether they’re assisting a ro-ro vessel or a gas carrier dock, or a passenger ferry through a narrow canal, tugboats are essential for ensuring smooth operations in busy ports. 👉 Looking for jobs on tugboats?

𝐓𝐮𝐠𝐛𝐨𝐚𝐭 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒-𝟐𝟎𝟑𝟐. 𝐆𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 Tugboats, also referred to as tugs, play a crucial role in maneuvering large vessels like containerships, tankers, and cruisers within dockyards and harbors, as well as in pushing or pulling non-self-propelled vessels such as barges and oil platforms. These powerful boats are essential for docking and harboring operations, facilitating the navigation of larger ships through narrow passages. The engines powering these tugs are sizable and robust, providing the necessary thrust to move hefty vessels. The Tugboat Engine industry encompasses various segments, including Deep Sea Tugboats (up to 700 HP, 700 to 1500 HP) and Harbor Tugboats (up to 700 HP, 700 to 1500 HP), with key enterprises operating in both developed and developing markets. The market status, technological advancements, patents, applications, and trends within the Tugboat Engine sector are thoroughly analyzed, offering accurate forecasts for consumption value by type and application from 2024 to 2032.

Tugboats, aka #Tugs, may look very small compared to cargo vessels, but are actually incredibly powerful and useful. Tugs are integral to shipping: • They are navigators / Guides for ships in and out of ports • They sometimes act as salvage boats • Useful as Ice breakers • Carry firefighting equipment to provide assistance in case of a fire • Critical for moving barges, rigs, and other floating equipments that do not propel themselves • Helping vessels move through narrow areas, in bad weather, or docking and mooring How they actually move vessels: • Depending on the size of the ship and the tugs, one or more tugs can tow via a tow line or push the ship into dock • The tow line can be used for direct or indirect towing Direct towing → the tug is pulling the vessel straight ahead, likely due to the ship not having the ability to propel itself. Indirect towing → the tug can act as a rudder and pull the ship to one side, helping rotate the ship as it moves. Of course, tugs can also cruise right up to the side of the ship and push. Large ships usually have designated areas where tugs can push safely. #shipsandshipping #tugboats

Viewpont: This month we get to the how-to part of using an assist boat. Keep in mind that I’m offering the perspective of a conventional tug operator, moving barges that are un-ballasted when not carrying cargo. There is still applicability to ATBs, however. #maritimeindustry #tug #vessels #workboat
