It has been a while since the last time I posted a tugboat, so let me introduce the “Alfredo Neri”, here inside the “Porto Mediceo”.
The “Alfredo Neri” is a tractor type tug built in 2001 at the Ferrari Shipyard in La Spezia.
The final phases of the berthing of the cruise ship “Insignia”.Search labels: tug
Tug boats are wonderful VP.
ReplyDeleteNice to see tugboats again!:)
ReplyDeleteand nice photos!
A beautiful proof that it is the inside that counts and not always size.
ReplyDeletePlease have a good Wednesday.

I do like the tugboats.
ReplyDeleteIt would be fun and very interesting to spend a day on a tugboat like that!
ReplyDeleteThose look like a fun ride. You have to see the bench on Sharon's blog. www.phxdp.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteTugs are just so neat.
ReplyDeleteI can do it!!! That would be their motto. MB
A very pretty tug - but shouldn't it be red?!!
ReplyDeleteI'm always happy to see them:)
ReplyDeleteForgive my ignorance, VP, but what exactly does such a boat? The sea is too far away from my town...
ReplyDeleteThe hardest working boat on the water.
ReplyDeleteThose tugs are just so darn cute!
ReplyDelete@ Randy - Thanks for the tip, that's really an amazing bench!
ReplyDelete@ Traveling Hawk - Tugboats assist vessels entering and leaving port. Some of the newer ships do not need their assistance, but the older and the larger ones can't do without.
It's always great watching these maneuvers and works.
ReplyDeleteTugs: little guys often do the BIG work.
ReplyDeleteThis is all so exciting. I hope some day to see such a berthing in person.
