15 TUGS
ugs are a common cargo to be seen on our vessels. What
seldom can be grasped are the dimensions, we are perform-
T ing within. While approaching Hoek van Holland, our pho-
tographer captured the pilot boat approaching MV Trina in rough
sea. We think it requires a few guts to climb a small ladder in such
conditions. MV Trina is carrying seven Damen tugs. The largest
tug measures 29.8 × 10.4 × 16.5 metres with a weight of 559 tons.
This picture turned out to be quite a hit on LinkedIn. Our follow-
ers started a competition to identify all the vessels shown on the
picture.
