    摘要: A hull for a vessel for towing is disclosed, comprising a deck and a towing staple for guiding a towing line. The towing staple comprises a guiding element having a symmetrical extension in a first plane parallel to the deck, wherein the guiding element comprises a first and a second mounting section mounting the guiding element to the hull. The first and second mounting sections are connected by means of a main section of the guiding element. The guiding element comprises a towing line guiding surface located on a bottom side of the main section facing the deck, the towing line guiding surface being configured to, during a towing procedure, slidably contact the towing line, such that the towing line can freely move along a periphery of the main section in the first plane while being restricted in movement by the main section in a direction perpendicular to the first plane. The towing staple further comprises a support element, wherein the support element is arranged on a top side of the main section and extends at an angle to the first plane from the top side of the guiding element to a second plane perpendicular to the first plane and extending through the first and second mounting sections.

    摘要: A linking drive system comprises a first drive shaft of the first drivetrain connected between a first prime mover and a first propulsor. The linking drive system comprises a second drive shaft of the second drivetrain connected between a second prime mover and a second propulsor. The linking drive system further comprises a linking drive clutch, which comprises at least a first clutch part and a second clutch part. The first clutch part and the second clutch part are engageable with each other and can transmit rotation therebetween. At least one flexible drive link is coupled between the linking drive clutch and the first and/or second drive shafts. Rotation from one of the first and second drive shafts is transferred to the other of the first and second drive shafts when the linking drive clutch is engaged thereby linking the first and second drivetrains.

    摘要: A method of handling a mooring line having a first end portion attached to a vessel comprises capturing a second end portion of a mooring line with a moveable arm mounted to a towboat. The method also comprises securing a mid-portion of the mooring line between the first end portion and the second end portion with respect to the towboat. The method further comprises moving the second end portion of the mooring line from a first position to a second position whilst the mid-portion of the mooring line is secured to the towboat.
