A high tide and some tug boats becomes 'high-end engineering' if it works
- zelos 6y agoI'd guess figuring out where you can safely attach the tug boats, monitoring stability and stresses on the container ship and so on is non-trivial, too.

- hinkley 6y agoHave you looked at tug boat propulsion units lately? Those things look like black magic.
