T is for Towing by Tugboat


Wikipedia says:
Towing is the process of pulling or drawing behind a chain, line, bar or some other form of coupling. Commonly, towing is done by road vehicles, but anything from boats to tractors to people can tow cargo.
and furthermore:
A tugboat, or tug, is a boat used to maneuver, primarily by towing or pushing, other vessels (see shipping) in harbors, over the open sea or through rivers and canals. Tugboats are also used to tow barges, disabled ships, or other equipment like oil platforms.
In this case it is a Tugboat Towing an oil platform in for maintenance at the Coast Centre Base (CCB) at Ågotnes outside Bergen, Norway, not far from where I live.
