Diminutive but amazingly powerful, the Rotor Tug is capable of maneuvering a 1,000ft-long, 250,000-ton bulk carrier in and out of harbor.

Thanks to its revolutionary propulsion system, the Rotor Tug is blessed with spectacular agility, a high rate of turn, and the ability to move rapidly sideways and exert a high proportion of its 75-ton bollard pull in any direction.

Published with the full cooperation of Kotug/Rotor Tug BV, originators of the Rotor Tug, author M.J. (Jack) Gaston gives unique insights into the design, build, and operation of this revolutionary vessel. 

Since the publication of his first book M. J. Gaston has gained considerable additional exposure within the industry and in enthusiast circles and there is every reason to believe that new marketing opportunities will continue to arise.
