Definitions
- the present invention relates to a tugboat, comprising a single hull, a deck and a towing system having a circular or oval base connected to the deck, the base having a centre point, and a cart that is moveable over the base over 360°, wherein the cart comprises a powered winch during use provided with a tug cable for towing vessels, wherein a propulsion system is connected to the hull for providing a propulsive force in a body of water.
- a towing system is also known as a carrousel-type towing system.
- Such a tugboat is known from for instance WO 2006/049483 A1 by the present applicant.
- a similar tugboat is disclosed in US 2006/112870 A1 .
- a disadvantage of the known carrousel-type tugboat is that the propulsion forces are not positioned in the most optimal way to control the tugboat's heading during towing.
- Another disadvantage is that a lot of engine thrust is needed to control the tugboat's heading.
- the tugboat according to the invention is defined by the features of claim 1. Further more an operation method is disclosed in claim 8.
- the vertical distance between the centre point and the waterline (H cp ) can for instance be 1,5 - 4,5 m.
- the vertical distance between the centre of thrust of the propulsion units and the waterline (H p ) can for example be 3 - 5 m.
- VSP's Voith Schneider Propellers
- propulsion units comprise one or more azimuth thrusters.
- thrusters can also be advantageously used to generate sideways forces.
- the invention also relates to a method of operating a tugboat according to any one of the preceding claims, comprising the steps of:
- Such a method advantageously employs the hydrodynamic resistance force created by the submerged hull to increase the tension of the tug cable, without needing a lot of thrust from the propulsion units to achieve this.
- the orientation of the tugboat is corrected with the propulsion units in such a way, that the tug cable remains at an angle of 45 - 90° to the longitudinal direction of the tugboat, such that the hydrodynamic resistance of the hull (both for withstanding moments as well as withstanding movement due to the tension in the tug cable) stays relatively high.
- the orientation of the tugboat is corrected with the propulsion units in such a way, that the tug cable remains at an angle of about 90° to the longitudinal direction of the tugboat. In this way, the hydrodynamic resistance of the hull in sideways direction remains as high as reasonably possible.
- Figures 1-3 will be discussed in conjunction.
- Figure 1 shows a tugboat 1, comprising a single hull 2, a deck 3 and a towing system 4 having a circular or oval base 5 connected to the deck 3.
- the base 5 has a centre point CP.
- a cart 6 is moveable over the base 5 over 360°, wherein the cart 6 comprises a powered winch 7 during use provided with a tug cable 8 for towing vessels 9.
- a propulsion system 10 is connected to the lower side of the hull 2 for providing a propulsive force P in a body of water 11.
- the propulsion system 10 comprises two propulsion units 12 each capable of providing a thrust or propulsive force P over 360° in a plane perpendicular to a vertical plane of symmetry 13 that extends in a longitudinal direction X of the tugboat 1 (see figures 2 and 3 ).
- the maximum hull width W max can for instance be 8 - 14 m.
- the maximum hull height H max can be, for instance, 2,5 - 7 m.
- the propulsion units 12 are positioned in the vertical plane of symmetry 13 and are aligned in the longitudinal direction X.
- One of the propulsion units 12 is positioned in front of the centre point CP and the other one is positioned behind the centre point CP and the distance between the propulsion units 12 is at least 10% of a length L of the tugboat 1 in the longitudinal direction X.
- the tugboat 1 is configured in such a way that during towing the vertical distance between the centre point and the waterline H cp divided by the vertical distance between the centre of thrust of the propulsion units and the waterline H p is 0,3 - 1,5.
- the ratio is 0,6 - 1,1, even more preferably around 0,95.
- the change of hull 2 draft H draft and thus of the stated distances H cp and H p may be achieved by adapting the design or weight of the tugboat 1 or by using ballast tanks or the like.
- the vertical distance between the centre point CP and the waterline H cp can for instance be 1,5 - 4,5 m.
- the vertical distance between the centre of thrust of the propulsion units and the waterline H p can for example be 3 - 5 m.
- the tugboat 1 may have propulsion units 12 in the form of Voith Schneider Propellers.
- the tugboat 1 as shown has propulsion units 12 comprising a pair of azimuth thrusters.
