Tugboat pushed underwater by cruise ship
When we’re on a cruise, sitting in a deckchair, pigging out at the buffet table or relaxing in our cabin it can be difficult to remember the sheer power of the machinery required to transport thousands of people around the world in consummate style.
But we bet the guy who owns this tugboat won’t be forgetting any time soon!
In this video above a tugboat is completely submerged by the Norwegian Escape during her conveyance from the shipyard.
In the cruise industry, conveyance, as you may remember from this article, is a process undertaken by ships constructed at the Meyer Werft shipyard in Germany.
After the ship is complete it will make a trip backwards down the River Ems to get to the North Sea. But, as you can see from the above video, you don't want to be on the tugboat that gets in the cruise liners way between the shipyard and the open ocean!
