Captain Jeffrey Slesinger used his extensive knowledge of the industry to bring Reids original edition, published in 1986, up to date with current technologies and standards, adding sections on the advances made in tug design, and line and winch technology. Shiphandling with Tugs, Second Edition includes a new chapter on ship escort with updated and expanded chapters on todays tugs, including descriptions and illustrations of the latest tractor tug designs and capabilities.
ASD Tugs
An Azimuthing Stern Drive (ASD) tug or towboat is a high-performance vessel that is responsive, quick to maneuver and extremely powerful. In the hands of a skilled operator maneuvering these vessels looks effortless and seamless—smoothly spinning around, nimbly shifting position, having pinpoint control, all while the operator's hands move the control handles instinctively and naturally. This book takes the reader through an efficient learning sequence leading to that level of proficiency. Text, illustrations and practice drills create a clear understanding of ASD maneuvering principles and assist the reader in acquiring the intuitive hands-on feel required to operate these vessels. Each chapter covers a basic maneuvering element—steering, managing speed, stopping, hovering, lateral movement—and their application to light boat, barge and ship handling. This book is the first step for a professional mariner adding a new competency to his or her art of towing—driving a Z-drive.

SHIPHANDLING WITH AZUMUTHING PODDED PROPELLERS
Vessels ftted with azimuthing podded propulsors have much better maneuvering capabilities. They are also environmentally friendly with much reduced exhaust emissions. With these unique features ,they offer signifcant economic, safety and environmental advantages to society, but unfortunately, the routines and the emergency procedures of the azimuthing podded propulsion system were not clearly defned and incorporated into onboard ISM systems. Masters, Chief Engineers and Pilots should receive a specialist training before they lay their hands on the controls, but instead most of them still have to try learning on the job, which sometimes lead to serious incidents, near misses and accidents wit...
