Tiivistelmä
The subject matter of this thesis work focuses on the characteristics and value of tugboat
training experience, and the impact of tug training experience on deck cadets and officers’
performances during towage operations.
It was inspired by the fact that deck officers are contributing parties in towage operations
and the part they play during these tug mishaps and accidents. Evidently, not much study
has been finalized to determine all the factors behind this. However, several reports and
findings point out the roles played by the bridge team and other non-tug operators during the
accidents.
The thesis includes information specifically regarding the different range and purposes of
the tug training experience and an examination of these differences. Also discussed is the
correlation between the direct and indirect impact of situational awareness, and the presence
of lack of tug operational knowledge being linked to the lack of situational awareness. Other
areas covered were the opinions and suggestions of tugboat crews.
The opinions were based on the group the questionnaire targeted and the interviews with
tugboat crew.
