ABSTRACT In this research, have reduced the number of tugboats driven to a cargo ship (50 thousand tons), by (towing and ship) process and used power of engines to moved, and defeat the resistance force. Sudan has numbers of ports and many of them are used in commercial import/export trades, thus the available tugboats fleet has weight limitations. Which leads to disability in accepting large heavy ships to be moored locally, the main objective of this project is to Design a tugboat that has the ability of maximum towing 50 thousand tons in deep water .the result of this project reduced the number of tugboats driven to a cargo ship (50 thousand tons), by (towing and ship) process and used power of engines to move the ship, and defeat the resistance force. ﺍﻟﻤﺴﺘﺨﻠﺹ ﺍﻟﻬﺩﻑ ﺍﻟﺭﺌﻴﺴﻲ ﻤﻥ ﻫﺫﺍ ﺍﻟﺒﺤﺙ ﻫﻭ ﺘﺼﻤﻴﻡ ﻗﺎﻁﺭﺍﺕ ﺒﺤﺭﻴﺔ ﻟﻘﻁﺭ ﺴﻔﻴﻨﻪ ﻜﺘﻠﺘﻬﺎ 50 ﺍﻟﻑ ﻁﻥ ﺒﻭﺍﺴﻁﻪ ﻋﻤﻠﻴﺘﻲ ﺍﻟﺩﻓﻊ ﻭﺍﻟﺸﺩ ﻭﺍﻟﺘﻐﻠﺏ ﻋﻠﻰ ﻤﻘﺎﻭﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﻤﺎﺀ ﻭﺍﻟﻬﻭﺍﺀ ﻭﺍﻋﻁﻰ ﺍﻜﺒﺭ ﺴﻤﺎﺤﻴﻪ ﻟﻠﺴﺤﺏ.

In 1736 Jonathan Hulls of Gloucestershire, Eng. patented a boat to be powered by a Newcomen steam engine to move large vessels in and out of harbours. The first tugboat actually built was the Charlotte Dundas, powered by a Watt engine and paddle wheel and used on the Forth and Clyde Canal in Scotland. Screw propulsion for tugboats was introduced in the United States about 1850, the diesel engine about 50 years later. Tugs are still indispensable in berthing large ships. Oceangoing tugs are used for salvage missions. Also, moving a ship without the chance of colliding with underwater stones and leftover debris in some ports can be complicated process also, there may not be large spaces for ships to move easily and move around. All these difficulties can be avoided by tugboat transportation. Many tugboats have firefighting monitors, allowing them to assist in firefighting, especially in harbors without the usage of tugs, the anchoring process may become unsafe and can cause serious damages. Added to that, a well-designed tug with a powerful engine has a positive impact in an economical way. 1.2 Problem of Project In Sudan we have numbers of ports and so many of them are used in commercial import/export trades, thus the available tugboats fleet have weight limitationsand the maximum horse power can obtained from a local tug is 4000 Hp. Which leads to disability in accepting large heavy ships to be moored locally. Moreover, that has a negative commercial impact on the import/export process therefore; increasing tugboats capacity and start to consider designing them domestically will help to leap forward in river transportation field. 2 1.3 Project importance The research contributes to the industries sector by constructing tugboats natively. Which can reduce the cost taking in consideration ordering them from foreign companies. It also enhances the river transportation process and increase the maximum capacity of a ship to be towed using a tugboat. Which has an important role in how many tugs are used to tow/push a ship into the port’s mooring area. 1.4 Project Objectives Designing a tugboat that has the ability of maximum towing range of (45~50) thousand tons in deep water using an engine that produces up to (10.800) HP obtained at (900) r.p.m. 1.5 Project Scope Design a (Deep-Sea) configuration tugboat and focus on its towing roller and pushing surface. And run them under simulation conditions to insure the desired capacity. 3 CHAPTER TWO LITERATURE REVIEW 4 2.1 Tugboat Background A tugboat is a boat or ship that manoeuvres vessels by pushing or towing them. Tugs move vessels that either should not move by themselves such as ships in a crowded harbor or a narrow canal, or those that could not move by themselves, such as barges, disabled ships, log rafts, or oil platforms. Tugboats are powerful for their size and strongly built, and some are ocean going. Some tugboats serve as icebreakers or salvage boats. Early tugboats had steam engines, but today most have diesel engines. Many tugboats are equipped with firefighting monitors in order to assist the ship’s crew or the salvage company in controlling a fire on board a passenger liner or ferryboat especially in harbors. A ship on fire is not only a potential dangerous area for inexperienced crew and passengers, but as a result of the fire there could be threat to the marine environment. 2.1.1 Types of Tugboats Fig 2.1: Types of Tugboats 5 2.1.1.1 Deep-sea tugs Seagoing tugs (deep-sea tugs or ocean tugboats) fall into four basic categories: 1. The standard seagoing tug with model bow that tows its "payload" on a hawser. 2. The "notch tug" which can be secured in a notch at the stern of a specially designed barge, effectively making the combination a ship. This configuration is dangerous to use with a barge which is "in ballast" (no cargo) or in a head- or following sea.

    Logistics in Focus: U.S. Waterways By Max Schlubach For more than 200 years, tugboats, towboats and barges have plied the United States’ vast inland river system, its Great Lakes and its three coasts. This distinctly American industry has built the coast of the Great Lakes into a global manufacturing center, enabled the U.S. to become the world’s largest wheat exporter and, today, provides the flexibility needed to become a major oil producer. Yet despite the critical role that it plays in the U.S. economy, the inland and coastal maritime industry is little known outside of the transportation sector. 14 Brown Brothers Harriman | COMMODITY MARKETS UPDATE The tugboat, towboat and barge industry is the largest segment Jones Act Vessel Type of the U.S. merchant maritime fleet and includes 5,476 tugboats Ferries Tankers and towboats and 23,000 barges that operate along the Atlantic, 591 61 0.7% Pacific and Gulf Coasts, the Great Lakes and the inland river sys- 6.5% tem.

  • River Highway for Trade, the Savannah : Canoes, Indian Tradeboats
    RIVER HIGHWAY FOR TRADE THE SAVANNAH BY RUBY A. RAHN CANOES. INDIAN TRADEBOATS, FLATBOATS, STEAMERS, PACKETS. AND BARGES UG 23 S29 PUBLISHED BY 1968 U. S. ARMY ENGINEER DISTRICT, SAVANNAH CORPS OF ENGINEERS SAVANNAH, GEORGIA JUNE 1968 FOREWORD River Highway for Trade by Ruby A. Rahn is the result of nearly a quarter of a century of research into contemporary newspaper files, old letters, and documents as well as personal memories. Miss Rahn, a long-time school teacher in the school sys­ tem of Savannah, was born in Effingham County in 1883. She grew up close to the River, during those years when the life and excitement of the River was still a part of local living. Miss Rahn was assisted in the compilation of the monograph by her niece, Naomi Gnann LeBey. The information of the mono­ graph offers a vivid and valuable record of river activities from the time of Indian habitation through the 19th century. Sometimes supplementary items of the period are included which seem proper in this miscellany of interesting infor­ mation. M. L. Granger Editor I NTRODUCTI ON I wish to acknowledge with gratitude the help and en­ couragement received from Mrs. Lilla Hawes, Miss Bessie Lewis, and Mr. Edward Mueller. They were, indeed, friends in my need. The information on the poleboats was all taken from the Marine News reports of the daily newspapers of the time. The totals of cotton bales for these boats can only be ap­ proximate, as the poleboats were hauling cotton for a few years before the papers started to publish the Marine News.

Collision of TugBoat/Barge Caribbean Sea/The Resource with Amphibious Passenger Vehicle DUKW 34, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, July 7, 2010. Marine Accident Report NTSB/MAR-11/02. Washington, DC. Abstract: This report discusses the July 7, 2010, collision of the tugboat/barge combination Caribbean Sea/The Resource with the amphibious passenger vehicle DUKW 34 on the Delaware River in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. As a result of the accident, two passengers on board DUKW 34 were fatally injured, and several other passengers sustained minor injuries. Damage to DUKW 34 totaled $130,470. Damage to the barge was minimal; no repairs were made. Safety issues identified in this accident include vehicle maintenance, maintaining an effective lookout, use of cell phones by crewmembers on duty, and response to the emergency by Ride The Ducks International personnel. As a result of this accident investigation, the National Transportation Safety Board makes safety recommendations to the U.S. Coast Guard, K-Sea Transportation Partners L.P., Ride The Ducks International, LLC, and The American Waterways Operators. The National Transportation Safety Board is an independent Federal agency dedicated to promoting aviation, railroad, highway, marine, pipeline, and hazardous materials safety.
