The Hanging Tugboat

Rimorchiatore Tito Neri, IMO 9319167, porto di Livorno
During our cruise around the cargo port with Maurizio, we saw the 300-ton “Tito Neri” fixed like this.

    Astonishing amount of weight being carried by those cables.

    Revrunner is right. What a huge amount of weight being held.

    Wow, a strong crane. Is that how they paint the hull? Or maybe they fix her azimuth thruster? (Thanks for that lesson in the earlier post.)
    The tug looks like a fish out of water.

    I keep forgetting that there is much more to a boat than what we just see.
    Looks quite big this tug-boat.
    I like the photo..... and as you now, I like tug boats. They do an important job!

    They do need their check-up every now and then!

    It is interesting to see the underside of the hull.

    I've seen boats hanging like this several times on our western coast. It's always a rather stunning sight to see.
