After inspecting a 130+ tugs fleet in 6 countries I've found Voith propulsion being

presently the favourite for most harbour tug masters. Then azipods.

The attached empirical formula (see downwards) is widely used for determining the
required bollard pull. A record of safe towing in Canadian waters has been established
using the following K values at a towing speed of six knots.

(a) for exposed coastal tows K = 1.0 to 3.0

(b) for sheltered coastal tows K = 0.75 to 2.0
(c) for protected water tows K = 0.50 to 1.5

A quick and rough estimative for engine's power in BHP is 100 to 125 times the bollard
pull in tonnes.

Also the following formula allows a direct rough calculation of BHP (Break Horse Power)
but taking no account for external factors such as wind and waves:

BHP = 2D/3*v^2 /120

where:
D = Displacement of the tow (t)
v = towing speed in knots

To pass from BHP to bollard pull in tons you may use:

Fixed pitch propeller: (freewheeling) BHP / 100 = (t)

Fixed pitch propeller and kort-nozzle: BHP * 1.08 / 100 = (t)
Controllable pitch propeller: (freewheeling) BHP * 1.125 / 100 = (t)
Controllable pitch propeller and kort-nozzle : BHP * 1.26 / 100 = (t)

Another formula to roughly determine the requested Bollard Pull under consideration of
aerodynamic resistance and Seas state:

Bollard pull (tons) = ((D^2/3 * v^3)/7200 + Cmv*B*D1)*K

where:
D = Displacement of the tow (t)
v = Towing speed in knots
Cmw = coefficient for the mean wind speed
B = Width of the tow (m) (transverse to movement)
D1 = Height of the wind facing area above water level, incl. Deck cargo (m)
K = Factor 3 - 8, depending to the circumstances

This formula should only be used during following two situations:

Ordinary towing conditions (BFT. 4)
V = 6 knots
Cmw = 0,0025
K=>3
Keep on station during heavy weather (BFT. 10-11)
V = 3 knots
Cmw = 0,015
K=8
