Nowadays, tug design can be characterised by keeping the hull direction in line with the towing wire and rotating the thrust force 360-degree around. The new carrousel tug design can be characterised by rotating the hull direction free from the towing wire. This carrousel consists of a large horizontal ring, rotating around the accommodation and fitted with the towing wire. The attachment in the side reduces the heeling moment sharply and enables the full extent of the dynamic hull forces for escorting (steering and braking) to be used.
