- the boat B is guided, for example, when it is approaching a harbour or if no risk may be taken that the boat B might become uncontrollable should the rudder of boat B go out of order. This occurs, for example, if boat B is full of oil and is sailing along a rocky coastline, where running aground would lead to unacceptable pollution of the coastline.
- the longitudinal axis of the rear tugboat A forms an angle ⁇ with the direction V A in which the tugboat A is moving through the water.
- the lateral surface of the tugboat gives a great lateral resistance, which is indicated by R in Figure 9.
- Said lateral resistance R is additionally great through the fore cutwater 25 and the end plate 33.
- Said lateral resistance is partly the reason why a great force F can be exerted on the towing cable 9, with the result that the boat B can change direction.
- the force F in the towing cable 9 will try to change the course of the tugboat and make the angle ⁇ smaller. This is prevented by, inter alia, the second propulsion means, it being an advantage that the jet pipe 26 lies in front of the action point of the towing cable 9.
- bracket 6 By guiding the towing cable 9 by way of bracket 6, it is ensured that the direction of pull of the towing cable 9 is in the direction of line n, and the distance to the line n through the centre of gravity z is equal to a, which distance is much shorter than the distance b, so that the upsetting moment is also considerably smaller as a result of the force F in the towing cable 9. It is advantageous here if the bracket 6 is as wide as possible, and preferably wider than half the width of the tugboat.

Abstract
Description
- The invention relates to a tugboat according to the preamble of Claim 1. Such tugboats are known. In the case of the known tugboats there is one winch for a towing cable running in the rearward direction. In practice, it appears that towing cables are also increasingly frequently being run out in the forward direction, and that it is desirable to be able by means of a winch to vary the length of a towing cable run out in the forward direction. For that purpose, a second winch is placed on the foredeck in the known tugboats. Such a second winch necessitates additional investment in winch and cable, additional maintenance and, besides, this second winch often has to be smaller in size because there is only limited space on the foredeck.
- In order to avoid the abovementioned disadvantages, the device according to the invention is designed according to the characterizing part of Claim 1. This means that the winch can be used when the towing cable is being paid out over the foredeck and when the towing cable is being paid out over the stern, so that the load on the winch can be the same in both cases.

- Figure 8 shows a top view of the use of a tugboat during the guidance of a ship; and
- Figure 9 shows diagrammatically various forces that are exerted upon the tugboat by a towing cable.
-
- Figure 1 shows a
hull 5 of a tugboat, which tugboat is suitable for towing away objects floating in the water, and in particular is suitable for guiding ships. Arailing 2 is fitted in the known manner around thehull 5 near the afterdeck, amidships there is apilot house 12, and thechimneys 4 of the propulsion means (not shown) can be seen. - For towing away objects floating in the water, a rear towing cable 1 can be attached to the tugboat, and
protection brackets 3 are provided on either side on the afterdeck, in order to ensure that the towing cable 1 does not come into contact with objects placed on the afterdeck. For the guidance of ships, atowing cable 31 can be guided by way of a front hawse-hole 8 and anaperture 10 into a frontcable guide bracket 11 to a winch 16 (see Figure 2). In another method of guiding a ship, it is also possible to guide atowing cable 9 underneath aguide arch 6 to anaperture 10 in thecable guide bracket 11. When the direction of pull on thetowing cable 9 is changed, saidtowing cable 9 can move over the foredeck. In order to prevent thetowing cable 9 from undesirably coming into contact with objects on the foredeck,protection brackets 7 are provided on either side on the foredeck. - In Figure 2 the
winch 16 can be seen with threewinch drums 14, each provided with twodrum cheeks 13. A frontcable guide bracket 11 is placed in front of thewinch 16, and a rearcable guide bracket 15 is placed behind thewinch 16. Each cable guide bracket has threeapertures 10, through which towing cables are guided to thewinch drums 14 in such a way that said cables wind up evenly. The frontcable guide bracket 11 forms part of a wall by means of which thewinch 16 is protected from spray splashing on the foredeck. - Figure 3 shows the tugboat in side view, a
water surface 17 also being indicated. Thehull 5 is provided on the front side with abulbous stem 27, and on the underside with afore cutwater 25 and anaft cutwater 21. For the propulsion of the tugboat, first propulsion means, composed of astern drive 20, are provided in a known manner on the rear side of thehull 5. Said stern drive may be of a dual design. Eachstern drive 20 has amotor 22 and anozzle 18 in which apropeller 19 can rotate. Thenozzle 18 and thepropeller 19 are rotatable about a vertical axis in a known manner. - Second propulsion means are provided on the front side of the tugboat, by means of which propulsion means forces can be exerted on the
hull 5 transversely to the longitudinal direction of the tugboat, and by means of which forces can preferably also be exerted in the direction of travel. The transverse forces are exerted on thehull 5 as far forward as possible, and preferably in front of thebracket 6, so that the force exerted by the second propulsion means can exert the greatest possible steering torque on the tugboat. In the embodiment shown, the second propulsion means comprise ajet pipe 26, which can rotate about a vertical axis ofrotation 28 with the aid of a directional drive 37. - Figures 5 and 6 show the second propulsion means in greater detail. The
jet pipe 26 can rotate about thevertical axis 28 in achamber 32, which is hollowed out on the underside of the broad part of thefore cutwater 25. The direction of the water jet from thejet pipe 26 forms an angle α of approximately 20 degrees with the horizontal plane. The water propelled out of thejet pipe 26 is sucked in through asuction channel 34, which begins on either side of the narrow part of thefore cutwater 25 withsuction apertures 35, which may be provided with a grille. Apropeller 24 is accommodated in thesuction channel 34, which propeller is driven by amotor 23. It can also be seen in Figures 5 and 6 that thefore cutwater 25 is provided with anend plate 33 which, viewed in the horizontal plane, is larger all round than the horizontal section of thefore cutwater 25. Theend plate 33 preferably forms an edge 200 to 300 mm wide on the underside of thefore cutwater 25. - Figure 4 shows the top view of the tugboat, and it can be seen that the
winch 16 is situated more or less in the centre, halfway along thehull 5. Awinch drive 29 and adrive motor 30 can also be seen. Thewinch 16 is in the form of threewinch drums 14, each of which can be driven separately. In order to increase the operational reliability of thewinch 16, the drive of the winch drums 14 is preferably dual, for example by providing twodrive motors 30. - Figure 7 shows the front side of the
hull 5, and in particular the prow on the underside. It can be seen here that the prow is provided with thebulbous stem 27, and that thefore cutwater 25 begins at saidbulbous stem 27. It can also be seen that thefore cutwater 25 has a streamlined profile with a maximum width at the front side. At the position of said maximum width, thechamber 32 for thejet pipe 26 is provided in thefore cutwater 25. The suction apertures 35 are provided on either side of the narrow part of thefore cutwater 25 in the bottom surface of thehull 5. - Figure 8 shows an example of the use of the tugboat according to the invention to guide a boat B. The boat B is travelling in direction VB and is being guided by a front tugboat C, which is travelling in direction VC, and a rear tugboat A, which is travelling in direction VA. The boat B is guided, for example, when it is approaching a harbour or if no risk may be taken that the boat B might become uncontrollable should the rudder of boat B go out of order. This occurs, for example, if boat B is full of oil and is sailing along a rocky coastline, where running aground would lead to unacceptable pollution of the coastline. As shown in Figure 8, the longitudinal axis of the rear tugboat A forms an angle γ with the direction VA in which the tugboat A is moving through the water. In this instance, the lateral surface of the tugboat gives a great lateral resistance, which is indicated by R in Figure 9. Said lateral resistance R is additionally great through the
fore cutwater 25 and theend plate 33. Said lateral resistance is partly the reason why a great force F can be exerted on thetowing cable 9, with the result that the boat B can change direction. The force F in thetowing cable 9 will try to change the course of the tugboat and make the angle γ smaller. This is prevented by, inter alia, the second propulsion means, it being an advantage that thejet pipe 26 lies in front of the action point of the towingcable 9. - The lateral resistance, together with the force F in the
towing cable 9, exerts an upsetting moment on thehull 5 of the tugboat. Owing to the difference in height between the freeboard of the boat B and the tugboat, said upsetting moment can be reduced, as shown in Figure 9. If the towingcable 9 were to act on the hull near the centre and, for example, to run directly from theaperture 10 of thefirst guide bracket 11 to the boat B, as indicated by line 1 in Figure 9, then the distance to a line n parallel to 1 and running through the centre ofgravity 2 would be equal to b. This distance is proportionate to the upsetting moment on thehull 5. By guiding the towingcable 9 by way ofbracket 6, it is ensured that the direction of pull of the towingcable 9 is in the direction of line n, and the distance to the line n through the centre of gravity z is equal to a, which distance is much shorter than the distance b, so that the upsetting moment is also considerably smaller as a result of the force F in thetowing cable 9. It is advantageous here if thebracket 6 is as wide as possible, and preferably wider than half the width of the tugboat.
