Harbour tugs work to vessel schedules with little time alongside. A tight, well-planned maintenance programme keeps them ready for every berthing.
Tugs are a key link in vessel manoeuvring. Busy schedules mean maintenance must be fast, accurate and prepared in advance.
Main engines and generators
- Change oil and filters by running hours; analyse oil regularly.
- Check the seawater cooling system: pumps, coolers, sacrificial anodes.
- Inspect turbochargers, injectors and valve clearances per the maker’s intervals.
Hydraulics and winches
Towing winches, steering gear and some propulsion systems are hydraulic. Check for leaks, oil cleanliness, hoses and control valves – hoses on board age faster from vibration and salt air.
Drive train
Inspect gearboxes, couplings, shaft bearings and vibration levels. Record readings to compare between inspections.
Prepare spares in advance
Keep a per-vessel list of filters, gaskets, seals, belts and anodes with minimum stock to cut time alongside. TTT provides engine and hydraulic repairs for tugs and special-purpose vessels in southern Vietnamese ports.
