Genesis Quezon Tugs, Inc. (GQTI) conducts scheduled bunkering operations for every tugboat every month.

In shipping circles, the terms “bunker” and “bunkering” are often heard and used, but what exactly do these terms mean?

Bunkering is the process of supplying fuel for use by ships, and includes the shipboard logistics of loading fuel and distributing it among available bunker tanks. The word “bunker,” meanwhile, is used extensively in defense forces and to define an area to store supplies and safeguard personnel.

They say tugboats are tremendous beasts. Tugs are strongly built, and pack huge power for their size. Normally they have towing power ranging from 40 to 120T. The propellers are so big, these are designed to move the tugboats slowly with a lot of thrust.

It is not unusual to use several tugs for ocean towing (vs docking in a harbor), or one big ocean-going tug with nearly as much power as a small ship. The credit usually goes to water, because water hardly provides any opposite force for tugboats to push or pull big vessels.
