What are ship pullers?

Ship pullers are specialized marine vessels or equipment designed to assist in maneuvering and repositioning larger ships, typically in confined spaces such as ports or docks. They use powerful winches and cables to pull or tow ships, ensuring safe navigation during berthing or unberthing processes. Ship pullers can also refer to tugboats that provide additional propulsion and steering assistance to larger vessels. Their role is critical in preventing collisions and ensuring safe maritime operations.
