A tug is a small, yet powerful vessel, specifically designed for towing, assisting, and maneuvering larger vessels in confined areas such as ports or restricted waterways. For instance, during the busy shipping season, a container ship may require the assistance of a tug to navigate through the narrow channels of a port while avoiding collisions with other vessels.
