As far as I know 'normal' harbor tugboats have around 50 tons of bollard pull. The largest harbor tugboats (situation about 2010) had/have around 60-65 tons of bollard pull, so the 'Fairplay 10' is is a very powerful one.

Thanks for this very nice and to me interesting image.

Regards, Cornelius.

The thing that goes the farthest, towards making life worthwhile, it costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.

I contacted Jörg Mainzer and they said I need a boat before they could help me or at least some water.
Wonderful shot and information. Captain Sea gave some good info as well.

I like seeing the tugs buzzing round The Mersey. They always seem so busy. An excellent image Raj and between your narrative and Cornelius' entry so much interesting information.
