Tugboat Assisting a Container Ship
A tugboat travels alongside a large ocean-going container vessel in a shipping channel. The compact boat maneuvers through surface waves to help guide the larger ship along the water route.
Navigation in Shipping Channels
Shipping channels are deep, dredged paths in harbors and rivers that allow large commercial vessels to travel safely. Because container ships have limited turning abilities in tight waterways, tugboats provide essential steering power.
