Do you know?

That there are special ships called Tugs. They are smaller, but powerful. Think of Lastma towing van? Exactly! Small but mighty.

Do you know? That ships have a fan-like blade beneath and behind them called a propeller? Generally, ships have one. But tugs have two. This contributes to their power, and makes them more manoeuvrable. They can move forward, backwards and sideways.

Do you know? That these tugs are attached to bigger ships with a towline? If that towline cut kperen! It's backlash can cut a man's limb?

Do you know? That tugs assist pilots in the safe berthing and unberthing in the port? Big ships being pushed or pulled by small tugs. Small geh big God.

Do you know? That Pilots and Tug Captains work together in a close knit environment to achieve safety? Communication must be, and is usually seamless in order to achieve proper Bridge Team Management?

Do you know? That Tug crew often work and stay onboard up to six weeks without seeing their families?

Here is the pictures of an engine room of a ASS 2810 Tug. 28m length Overall, 10m Breadth Overall


1. Engine room Rectifier (converts AC Voltages to DC Voltages, in this case 220VAC to 24VDC)

2. Hydraulic Tanks showing Electric motor connected to the Pump

3. fuel Transfer Valves

4. General Service pumps and Bilge Pumps with Valves and engine room fire fighting Hydrants

1. Main Engine (front View), in this case, tugs boats carry two engines

2. main Engine (side View) showing ECM (engine Control Module)

3. Fuel Oil Purifier

4. fuel oil transfer pumps

1. AC compressor/AC systems (for cooling of accommodation spaces)

2. Diesel Generator, Provides power onboard

3. engine room control Board/Main switch Board

4. heat exchanger, for cooling of the engine and generator

1. Thrusters (for propulsion of the ship), in this case an Azimuth Thruster means rotates 360degrees

2. Thruster Hyrdraulic oil Storage tank

Must be a new or almost new tug boat

That's lots of power below the hood.

Wait ooo don't we have engineering graduate and under graduate in this country even engineering professors, what have they produced, what impact have they contributed in production

I need one

Big big engines ontop water. Oyinbo are baddass! Technology is bae!!

vfffff

Interesting not bad...anyways if you down for some naija 18+ content check out our signature asap

power house :Ppower house
