I get that plane tugs have huge tyres and tonnes of torque, but a boat? A tiny boat? 🤷♂️
Thanks

They have a lot of power stashed in that little package. Big cargo and cruise ships also have a lot of power, and might hit say 35 knots, while a tug boat has enough power to move them 8-10 knots. That’s perfectly okay, because we aren’t looking for speed when bringing a ship to port, we need agility and the ability to react a little less slowly, which tugs offer.
