Thank you for narrating these videos yourself instead of using AI which everyone seems to be doing these days.

“Personal burden” had me in stitches. Thanks for the video

Been in the harbor tug industry for 24 years now. Our towing Hawser, is a thicker heavier line used for towing something larger than an average sized ship. We rarely use it these days as the strength of your regular working line on the bow and stern winches are able to handle increased loads. Great video! Very accurate with most of the information!

I love the tour of tugboats videos. They're so much bigger on the inside than one might imagine. Like a TARDIS!

Great video! I worked on tugboats, but a long time ago, when I was young. Then my life was spent on huge container ships. Now I am 60 years old and I dream of returning to tugboats again. In the story about tugs, I would also add that tugs, including port tugs, are equipped with a fire extinguishing system that is capable of extinguishing fires on large ships. I once saw such a fire in the roadstead of the port of Busan.
