Tug boat crews aboard the Westrac II and Westrac approach the Coast Guard Cutter Healy, a 420-foot Medium Icebreaker homeported in Seattle, as the crew of the cutter prepares to moor at Pier 36, May 23, 2017. Tug boat crews are often used to assist in mooring large vessels when entering and exiting port. Tugs help enhance cutter maneuverability in tight spaces.
