When cargo ships arrive at their destination port after thousands of nautical miles, there is still a difficult stretch ahead of them. This is where the harbour tugboats come into play, taking command and pulling the huge ships safely to the dock. The tug boats do not take on cargo, but are used to haul and manoeuvre large tankers and cargo ships. The small, robust but very manoeuvrable vessels have very powerful engines ranging from 250 to several thousand horsepower. Their conning bridges are designed as high superstructures to guarantee good all-round visibility for safe guidance through the narrow harbour area, in keeping with their task. The stern, bow and sides are usually reinforced and additionally equipped with wickerwork.
