How Tug Girding Can Lead to Capsizing
Tug girding is a rapid force-and-geometry failure. Official accident reports show how transverse towline load develops, why recovery time disappears, and which controls matter.

Dredging can provide the depth and under-keel clearance larger ships need. It cannot by itself provide shorter stopping distances, lower windage, wider turns or adequate towage control.
Larger container ships move through the network, bringing vessel-control and infrastructure demands to ports that may not have planned for them.
