maritime towing

Maritime towing involves physically connecting and pulling ships or boats using towing vessels or equipment. It’s used for various purposes, such as guiding ships into ports, repositioning vessels, or assisting damaged ships that can’t move on their own. Towing vehicles can be tugboats or specialized tug ships, equipped with strong engines and towing gear. The process requires careful planning to ensure safety, control, and proper handling of the ships involved. Effective communication and precise coordination are essential to prevent accidents and keep maritime operations running smoothly.
