<p>The present invention relates to a traction arrangement for a tug boat. A tug boat (40) has been provided with a towing winch (22) mounted on the aft and/or fore deck, a tow rope (21) coming wherefrom is intended to be connected to the vessel being assisted for necessary measures, such as towing, ar-resting, steering and equivalent. In order to enhance the stability of the tug boat (40) and the towing, steering, arresting and equivalent properties achieved with the tug boat for the vessel to be assisted, the traction arrangement com-prises a tow arc (23) mounted essentially in the plane of the deck within an area defined with a transverse bulwark (27) in the front part (30) of the front deck of the tug boat (40), respectively in the rear part of the aft deck. To be mobile along the tow arc, a towing eyelet (24) has been arranged, through which a tow rope (21) from the towing winch (22) passes to the vessel to be assisted, and the traction power is transmitted to the tug boat (40), and which towing eyelet (24) has on each occasion been arranged to be positioned according to the towing angle. <IMAGE></p> |
