Harbor Tugboat Model Kit – Realistic Port Assistance Vessel
Even after traveling thousands of nautical miles, cargo ships face one of the most challenging sections of their journey: navigating into the harbor. This is where harbor tugboats take command, expertly guiding and pulling massive tankers and cargo ships safely to the jetty. These small, robust, and highly maneuverable vessels are powered by engines ranging from 250 to several thousand horsepower. Their tall command bridges provide excellent all-around visibility, ensuring precise guidance through tight port areas. Reinforced bow, stern, and side walls allow them to operate safely under the toughest conditions.
This model kit brings this indispensable port vessel to life, capturing every functional and structural detail.
