Bow Tug

A bow tug is a type of tugboat specifically designed to assist larger vessels, typically by pushing them from the bow (front) rather than pulling them. This design allows for greater maneuverability and stability, especially in tight spaces like harbors or during docking. Bow tugs are equipped with powerful engines and specialized equipment to help navigate and guide ships safely through challenging conditions. Their unique positioning and capabilities make them essential for maritime operations, ensuring the efficient and safe movement of large ships in various waterways.
