What will I learn?

The Tugboat Operator Course equips you with practical skills to plan and carry out safe, efficient ship-assist operations in busy harbours. You'll learn about tug types, their capabilities, bollard pull, and standard positions, then apply step-by-step manoeuvre planning, risk assessment, and environmental protection. You'll also build strong communication, emergency response, and post-job debriefing to enhance safety, performance, and reliability in every operation.
