Abstract

The invention provides an integrated tow boat system including a tow boat, said system further including a powered bow unit module operable by remote control, a navigation bridge equipment module, and a control telemetry module. The powered bow-module (boat) (1) equipped with propellers (30) and steering aids in conjunction with a powered push boat (3) is particularly advantageous for moving barges with goods on water. An outstanding feature of the system is the integrated control of all the propulsion and steering machinery of the two boats through radio communication.
