Towage of Rigs +ships +barges by Tugs why we Seaworthy Shipping do it best?

RIG towing : when i was a chief engineer on Garware III i had planned the Towage of a Indian drilling Rig for O N G C and carried this out in Bombay high to Gujarat area , we had to first get the towing winch twin drum waterfall type ready + Brakes linking , check the towing ropes ensure they were well greased and pulled well up to their safe working loads + 20 pct extra ,getting Towing gear just right + D Plate My concern for the winch was always in the hydraulic side , that this should work just right , rollers should work and roll "just right" shark jaws should hold for the rig tow we required 200 - 250 meters of spare wire as well just in case , we were very lucky the Rig tow was a success and went off as well as planned , we had taken extra precautions just to make this a fail safe operation and i was Glad we had great team work Both on board and in the office

Once i set up office in name and style of Seaworthy Shipping Services ++ I found that "Experience is Every thing" planning is also every thing and as a Towage Service provider , we could give our clients Multi level services ,

when we get a Towage inquiry we first check in house among close Friends whose Tugs performance is known to us as is their capability as per class , whether bhp is commensurate with bollard pull declared making lea way for type of propulsion K type Prop in Kort Nozzles add to Bollard pull by a ratio of 1: 1.2 , also Propeller pitch plays a great role in bollard pull calculations along with Gear box ratios 1:4 is best and normal i have also seen small engine Tugs with large gear ratios 1:16 giving massive amount of bollard pull advantage ,

Once we get the right Tug( right bollard pull + towing winch ) in location we fix the Towing plans Survey and approvals by Irs as well in some cases Hull and machinery + P& I clubs for tug and barge Towage,

In last 19 years we have fixed many Towages, you need to have a vigilant attitude and we are always searching for more owners world wide to offer us their tugs which are to best of class , as class ensures good performance
