how can a tiny tug boat push/pull huge tankers and cruise ships?

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

The size of the boat doesn’t matter. The only things that matter are the engines and the propellor.

It makes no difference if you put the propellor and engine in the big boat, or a small boat that tugs it.
