I used to work for that company, most likely they buried the line on the drum and were pulling it out.

Bob, I am awaiting a reply from one of the companies that manufacturers towing lines.

NO! Bollard pull tests are always done with the tug being tested moored to a bollard ON SHORE
Why don't you simply ring your local Crowley office(Oakland 510- 251-7500( and ask them what they were doing? The worst they can do is tell you to mind your own business!

After some research and lots of helpful Forum feedback, the consensus of opinion is that the above tugs are conducting a bollard pull test as explained in the Wikipedia article:

My guess is line stretching has something to do with testing the strength of a tug line. Anyone able to confirm?
