A tug, sometimes known as a tugboat, is a secondary vessel that aids in the docking or berthing of a ship by dragging or pushing it towards the port. To enter a port, mega-ships require the use of a tug, which is a special sort of boat. Tug boats can be used to give the vessel with basics such as water, air, and other supplies in addition to dragging the vessel towards the harbor. By pushing or dragging vessels towards the port, tug boats make vessel maneuvering easier.
