🔍 Key Concepts

• Towing vessel capability vs. general vessel characteristics • Difference between power available (horsepower) and force actually delivered to the tow • How tugs are rated for static pulling power when not moving

💭 Think About

• Which option describes a measurable result of the tug’s power, rather than a component or design feature? • When a tug is tested by pulling against a fixed point (like a pier bollard), what performance characteristic are they trying to find? • Which choice is commonly used as a standard rating for tug performance in towing operations?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice is a standard industry metric used to rate tug/towing capability. • Eliminate answers that are parts of the system (like equipment or design details) rather than the overall towing performance measure. • Ask yourself: which term would be written on a tug’s spec sheet specifically as its pulling capability at zero speed?
