A basic guide on the techniques, equipment and problems involved in rendering towage services by oilfield tugs to the semi-submersibles, jack-up and barges which they serve. It is a “first aid” manual not a text on the practice of salvage towing work which is a highly specialised field. It is of use to Tug Masters, Barge Masters, Tow Masters and marine operations staff who have responsibility or involvement in the movement of vessels within the offshore oilfield.
