It's the wharf infrastructure that is the main concern. Tugs are resilient

These things happen old tugy can take it no problem

It was definitly fault of the pier, jumped out too quickly without right of way.

Ive never seen a tugboat (even Theodore) with shit stains like that.....😮

These thugs have allot of power, he was throtteling that thing to 100%.

Well that tug will have some serious construction issues after this squeeze.

What the hell was the skipper doing ? getting himself in that position Talk about a rock and a hard place !

Quite strong tugboat💪 impressive

All the experts in here is astounding

OMG only ONE outlet!!! My entire cruise is ruined!

Who is responsible for the pier piling damage ?

You would think the tug boat operator would get on the horn

I would think the pilot of the ship has a bit of responsibility, I believe he’s the person who positions the tug assist.

There's no one driving

When I worked at Seaspan in Vancouver years ago, one of their tugs got pinched between the warf and a wood chip barge. All the windows in the wheelhouse 2ere popped right out of their frames and the tug itself was squeezed permanently together by more than a foot.

I helped build one of those tugs for Foss, back in the day... I saw this video and thought that that tug was a expensive camel!😂 Edit: The reason he can't move is that he's tied on the front, once the stern hits that dock, there ya go! Those tugs are some of the most maneuverable tugs in the world due to their propulsion. Instead of a propeller, they have 2 rotating sets of paddles that change pitch during rotation to give thrust in 360°. Pretty cool, but very complicated wiring.

Tug doesn't look like it was trying to push back no smoke or heat coming out of the pipes just little mud kicked up.

That tugboat operater has to be pissed

Bad harbor pilot

Tug boat skipper seemed to keep their cool underpressure.

That was a good job. The tug was really churning, just look at how much mud was Coming up in the water.

Looks fake to me.

I'm of the opinion that that tug did his job just fine. 👌

You had 1 job...

That's the gawddamn trouble with these huge ass cruise n cargo ships! Greed drives these corporations to design em bigger n bigger n bigger every year n the fuckin infrastructure to support em ain't here yet!! Sure, some a the biggest, n wealthiest loadin ports can handle em but these cruise ships hit destinations in poorer spots n the dredging, horsepower power in the tug fleets n safe moorage ain't been built yet!!!! The slightest breeze catches one a these big basterds broadside and all that exposed steel is like one big gawddamn sail gettin pitched to the wind!! Ain't enough HP on these tug fleets to safely move em when in ports like this yet. Fuckin corporate Special Olympians sittin on the board who ain't got the sense God give a dust bunny n they're the shotcallers responsible for this kinda shit!

It was a woman “captain” here. That’s what the issue was. A feel good equal opportunity hire.

What would you tug caps have preferred if you'd been caught in this situation: Azipod or screws? By the way, how could this be happening; a bad wind, bad cruise ship cap't, or just bad luck? Answer to my 1st question would depend on how those ladies looked who took this video.

Under the boardwalk ..the boardwalk 😂😂

It looks like the bow thrusters were pushing in the ship. The tug was in the wrong place. Breakdown in communications.

That went well

Skippy’s BAC>.08 4Sho

I’m pretty sure judging by the exhaust that the tug was having engine trouble

Bullshit! Im a tugboat Captain, hold a Master of towing upon Oceans. Guy was tiktoking instead of paying attention. His stern was under the dock dock before he ever powered up, no situational awareness. He should have twisted out the way long before he got the close!

Here is a link to the investigation of this event. Of course the pilot was not held accountable. They are never responsible. bopc.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/41/2020/06/15-IRC-Report-STAR-PRINCESS-public-R-PW-1.pdf

IMHO, harbor pilots should be more accountable and held liable when something like this happens. Harbor pilots are never responsible for their actions when a ship goes aground or an or when another ship pushes a tug under the dock.

Disney fukd up again! No surprise!

Is there really some dad out there giving him hand gestures over the rail?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Lack of good communication

Thought for sure it was going to pop like a bug . Wtg tug pilot . Now go check your britches

Likely some sort of mechanical failure happened.

Look at those beautiful exhaust pipes on that tug....what a beautiful machine. Stainless steel ???

This isn't anything you won't see in a Walmart parking lot anywhere across this great land of ours.

It'll be okay just t-cut it 😳

Size does matter after all 🤣

Your fired

Maybe she didn't identify as "Princess" that day....did ya think of that? Huh? HUH?

FULL power Mr. Scott, aye, captain.

His other tug boat is 8 feet shorter. He's used to that one lol

At least the captain ordered to have the white tarp draped over the bow of the tug so we don’t transfer any marks onto the hull of the ship.

Pilots fault. 100%.
