--- Quote from: LaserSteve on March 28, 2021, 04:16:28 am ---The users of the marine forumn i read are calling for Tugs with a minimum of 200 Tons Bollard Pull. Evidenty those do not grow on trees in the area. --- End quote --- And one estimate I heard was that it might require 33,000 tons of pull. That's a lot of tug boats. |

For comparison, a Duluth, Missabe & Iron Range Rwy class M-3 "Yellowstone" 2-8-8-4 simple articulated heavy-duty steam locomotive has a tractive force of 70 US tons. When I was a mere lad, I could see (through my bedroom window) these in operation, hauling heavy trains of iron ore, and assumed that they were "normal". I later found that Yellowstones were the highest tractive force steam units ever operated in the US. |
