When cargo ships arrive at their destination port after thousands of nautical miles, there is still a difficult section ahead of them.
This is where the harbor tug boats come into play, which take command and safely pull the huge ships to the pier.
The tugboats do not take on any cargo, but are used to tow and maneuver large tankers and cargo ships. The small, robust, but very maneuverable ships have a very powerful engine ranging from 250 to several thousand horsepower.
Their command bridges are designed as high superstructures in order to guarantee good all-round visibility for safe navigation through the narrow harbor area.
The stern, bow and side walls are usually reinforced and additionally equipped with wickerwork.
