Gary, you are right. You mention a number of important issues and many more could be added. If you really want an instructive video and not just a nice video, then there is a lot more to do.

Speedy!!! Lots missed there in my opinion. The method of approach, types of tug, the type of tugs line, emergency procedures, how power and direction is indicated, process of disconnection (usually as dangerous as connecting if not more so), anchor washers and O/B discharges to name but a few

What a great pleasure to meet these guys at the harbour - they could not have been more helpful and forthright about their work. At first glance, the glide of these orange powerboats up and down Belfast Lough seems an almost effortless task, but close up this is a very skilled trade and constant management of risk 24/7 in high and low seas, jumping from ship to boat to land taking safe control of the great volume of steel vessel coming in and out of this busy port.
