Hazards and Risks of Girding during Towing Operations

Chamber of Shipping > Blog > News > Government > Hazards and Risks of Girding during Towing Operations

Transport Canada has issued Ship Safety Bulletin 16/2020 – Hazards and Risks of Girding during Towing Operations to caution tug operators of the dangers of a tug girding when under tow and provide best practices to avoid capsizing or sinking.  Girding occurs when a tug is pulled broadside by a towline force and is unable to manoeuvre out of this position.  Regular testing of the Emergency Release System is encouraged.
