They are the small strong ships without which the huge freighters cannot get into the harbour: Harbour tugs. Their versatility and power make them popular replica objects for model builders time and again. In this book, harbour tug specialist Stefan Thienel describes the special features of the great prototypes - and that is far more than just pure power. Among other things, the special drive systems, and the sophisticated winches with which the tugs are equipped to perform their tasks are described here in detail. The construction of a modern harbour tug as a highly detailed model then rounds off this book. The author guides the reader from the construction of the hull, through the numerous details, to the ageing, so that the model acquires the typical working ship character. An absolute standard work - not only for harbour tug fans! From the content: • Development of tugboat navigation • Original technology • Types of tugs • Tug design • Towing manoeuvres • The model • Tractor hull • Drive concepts • Towing winch and towing hook • Superstructure and interior • Paintwork and ageing • Electrics and electronics • Driving manoeuvres

Svitzer Marine operates 41 tugs in the UK and provides services in seven ports and six terminals; Adsteam provides harbour and terminal towage services in six of the UK's major deep-water ports and adjacent waterways. This report on the proposed acquisition of Adsteam by Svitzer concludes that the only significant lessening of competition would occur at Liverpool, where Svitzer should be required to divest either the Adsteam or Svitzer operation to a suitable purchaser. As well as the report and findings, this publication contains: financial information on the two companies; industry background; information on entry conditions into local markets; an analysis of Svitzer and Adsteam prices and discounts; sales and market share in Liverpool.
