The document discusses the interaction between a tugboat and a larger vessel it is assisting in shallow waters, noting that the forces between the smaller tug and larger vessel could potentially lead to a collision if not managed carefully. The tugmaster must use prudent helm and speed control to avoid any collisions during the interaction between the vessels in shallow water.

The document discusses the interaction between a tugboat and a larger vessel it is assisting in shallow waters, noting that the forces between the smaller tug and larger vessel could potentially lead to a collision if not managed carefully. The tugmaster must use prudent helm and speed control to avoid any collisions during the interaction between the vessels in shallow water.

The tugmaster must use prudent helm and speed control to avoid any collisions during the interaction between the vessels in shallow water.
With the following example a tug is to engage with a parent vessel on the starboard bow. Interaction between the smaller and larger vessels could generate a collision scenario. Prudent use of the helm and speed by the tugmaster will be crucial in collision avoidance.
