Harbour tugs are fascinating, adventurous and complex. A tugboat Captain must know the theory surrounding these vessels and even more, must have the ability to shape it with his own experience in the environment in which he works. Considering the numerous variables he must adapt everything to the style of manoeuvre of the pilot on duty. Not everyone can stand out in this work. The Port Tug Course deals with important topics; 'we propose the theory necessary for practice'.
