A fine photo, David. I saw today while passing Köhlbrandbrücke that she seemed to be about to leave, but I was too tired to go back to Bubendey Ufer (though I had already slept an hour in my car there!) :-))

Hi all, thanks for the interesting comments and input.
David, thanks a lot for the detailed explanation concerning the ASD tugs, something I never came across so far.
And Pieter, me too, I'm fan of this wordplay;)

As for the pink/red/rosé colour-scheme I can only say that it is the natural colour, as it presented itself under the turbulent Hamburg skies. No further enhancement concerning the intensity of colours had been taken out.
I pretty much like the tone, at least it allows SCF ships to stick out from the mass of commonly black, grey or blue bulkers.

Best regards,
David

Is pink allowed in Russia?

I love it how SovComFlot can be translated into Safety Comes First.

Although there are a wide variety of names for different tug types, all those tugs with azimuth thrusters under the stern are increasingly known as azimuth stern-drive (ASD) tugs. A large number of ASD tugs, such as those operating in the USA and many Pacific ports, are designed for operating at the ship’s side; for instance for push-pull operations. These tugs, also called reverse tractor tugs or pusher tugs, are specifically built to operate over the bow.

They seldom have a stern winch and often a long deckhouse. If there is a towing point aft (in most cases just a towing hook) it lies at a very close horizontal distance forward of the thrusters. This makes these tugs unsuitable for effective towing over the stern during harbour operations.

Hi David That is a dramatic shade of pink (?) for the hull colour!

Is it usual for the bow tug to go astern when towing?
