marine towing operations

Marine towing operations involve attaching a tugboat or escort vessel to a larger ship, barge, or object to assist with navigation, repositioning, or rescue. These operations rely on skilled handling and precise communication to ensure safety and efficiency as the tug exerts force to move or steer the target vessel through waterways. Towing can be used for marina assistance, offshore projects, or emergency salvage. The process requires understanding of marine regulations, vessel capabilities, and environmental conditions to execute safe and effective maneuvers.
