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.
