Introduction Of  Marine Towing Arrangement

The towing arrangement is a special equipment for towing on ships, towboats or floating bodies that are often used for towing operations. It also includes equipment for towing and anchoring offshore platforms on tugboats during marine development operations. This is because the functions required by the two are similar, some devices can be shared, and the relationship is closely related. 

Conventional towing equipment mainly includes towing cables, towing piles, towing hooks, towing girders and towing cable limiters, but does not include mooring equipment such as cable piles and mooring winches, which are also used as towing equipment on ships. The longitudinal position of towing point of towing equipment has a great influence on the maneuverability of propeller tugboat. Generally, Lpp after bow (0.02-0.08) is the best, but in fact, it is much later. In terms of stability, the vertical position of the drag point should be reduced. The towing equipment of professional tugboats shall ensure the reliable and safe collection and laying of towing cables and various operations under various operating conditions both inside and outside the harbour.

Marine towing equipment can be divided into fixed towing equipment and movable towing equipment.
