🔍 Key Concepts

• towing gear failures vs. tow behavior • how forces transfer between tow, towline, and tug • difference between "immediate" danger to the tug versus long‑term or indirect risk

💭 Think About

• Ask which event most directly and suddenly affects the tug’s own safety and stability, not just the rig’s. • Consider which situation can cause a rapid, violent change in tension or direction of pull on the tug. • Think about what happens to the load on the tug’s propulsion and steering forces in each option.

✅ Before You Answer

• For each choice, picture the immediate effect on the tug’s hull, rudder, and propulsion. • Decide which option can cause a sudden loss or reversal of control forces acting on the tug. • Eliminate any option where danger builds up slowly rather than being instant and potentially catastrophic.
