🔍 Key Concepts

• Tandem towing dynamics between two tugs and the tow • Effect of power and control on the lead vs. following tug • How steering, stopping, and emergency maneuvers are handled in a tandem tow

💭 Think About

• Which tug needs the best control over the tow’s heading and track? Think about where that tug should be placed. • In an emergency (like needing to stop or sheer developing), where would you want the stronger braking and corrective force? • Consider how unequal power might affect the towline between the two tugs if the stronger tug is placed in different positions.

✅ Before You Answer

• Make sure you understand what tandem towing means (two tugs pulling in line on the same tow). • Ask: which tug position (front or rear) has the primary responsibility for controlling course and speed of the tow? • Check whether any option would create dangerous strain or instability between the two tugs or on the towline.
