Yes, thank you for explaining what the button is next to the wheel. Also in one of the first multi camera setups you had the throttle buttons were low speed toward the bottom. These last two you have the camera reversed so the low speed is up. Not a problem at all as it was easy to figure out what these two rows of buttons did. I really like these videos. Gives one a feeling of how ponderous the movement is in these bigger ships. Akin to small boats like the sailboats I drove around but much slower to respond to control inputs. Thanks very much for the glimpse into the world of the Harbor Tug....
Again a great video ! One question though : When you start lowering the engine's rpm, it looks like you passed through the other "notches" (950 to 700 rpm, 700 to 500, etc. These are fake values). Why not going directly to 950 to 500 rpm directly ? Will it damage the engines ? I hope this is understandable ... :s
+Tyconniendu59 Good question ! :) Lowering the RPM is indeed not required to do in steps, but sometimes we do this. When raising the RPM it's better to do this in steps or else you will get allot of black smoke sometimes. Alltough, sometimes we need the RPm fast and then we use raise the rpm from minimum to maximum in 1 step.
Hallo ik zag op een van de vorige video's en ook op deze dat u boven het stuurwiel telkens een knop indrukte en nu wil ik u eens vragen waar dat voor is want van het stuurwiel en de twee handle's dat snap ik wel maar dat van die knop is mij nog een raadsel, en deze video is ook weer geweldig

+ShippingHarbors Thanks for the answer :)

Dat is een knop om met de loods te communiceren. Normaal is dit met een telefoonhoorn,maar zo'n knop is sneller en makkelijker in onze situatie :)
Dank u voor de uitleg
Is that ship heading north, through the channel? Scheldt?
So you have "shifts" that standby to do assists? Or is it on call? Keep up the good vids!
What do you mean exactly?
Do you have a "day shift" and a "night shift" for working the harbor?
+Robert Hale yes that is correct.
Is dit de Boudewijn sluis zeker zo aan de brug tezien
Klopt!
