In selecting a tug for moving a MODU, consideration should be given to its __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Bollard pull as a direct measure of a tug’s pulling capability • Why maneuverability is critical when handling a MODU (Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit) in close quarters • The difference between indicated horsepower and actual usable pulling power at low speeds

💭 Think About

• When moving a large, high-windage structure like a MODU, what performance characteristic of a tug matters more: engine power on paper, or the actual steady pulling force it can apply? • In tight offshore locations or near other structures, what qualities of a tug help keep the MODU under control besides raw pulling force? • Which factor in the choices is more about weight of the tug itself, and which are about its ability to control and move the MODU safely?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on what bollard pull measures versus indicated horsepower • Think about whether displacement of the tug really helps control a MODU, compared with other listed factors • Ask: for safe positioning and heading control of a MODU, is maneuverability optional or essential?
