Are you
-
A charterer or vessel owner looking for the right sized tug to hire for your charter barge/vessel?
-
A salvage expert looking for the right sized tug for a salvage operation?
-
A consultant who has to find the best fit tug for towing a barge/vessel?
-
A reviewing authority/MWS looking to verify the tug selected for a particular operation?
The critical exercise which you need is a thorough and accurate Bollard Pull calculations to establish the pull required for the Barge/Vessel. While it seems simple, every small assumption which you make has the potential to affect the result wildly, leading to either an undersized tug (and subsequent heartburn with apprval authorities) or an oversized tug (leading to unwanted expenditures)
There are many reasons why a bollard pull calculation can go wrong:
-
wrong methodology applied,
-
wrong environmental parameters considered,
-
calculations not taking into account the specific vessel’s geometry
-
not following the correct guidelines
