A commercial tug is a powerful, specialized type of vessel used for pushing and pulling large cargo ships and barges in ports along rivers and shallow seas. Tugs are heavy-duty vessels that are equipped with a powerful engine, strong ropes and winches, and a large rudder. They can pull and move ships, barges and other large vessels that do not have their own propulsion power. Commercial tugs can also provide assistance to ships entering or leaving harbours by guiding, pushing and positioning both in and out of harbour berths. In some cases, they also tow disabled ships to safety.
Manufacturers that produce tug commercial boats include Commercial Boats and Pacific.
A used tug commercial boat on TheYachtMarket.com ranges in price from £9,650 GBP to £380,000 GBP with an average price of £113,000 GBP. Factors including the condition, age, model and specification will affect the price of a tug.
