What does this programme cover?

Harbour tug operations decide whether a large ship reaches or leaves its berth without damage, yet many ports still allocate tugs by habit, give unclear orders between pilot and tug master, and accept towline and girting risks that crews have learnt to live with. Contact damage, parted lines and capsized tugs usually trace back to these gaps. This Core Concept course trains tug crews, pilots and marine operations staff to select, position and command tugs for ship-assist towage and escort work. Each participant produces a Berthing Tug Plan and Risk Assessment for a case vessel and berth.
