Powered by a single-screw marine diesel engine capable of 8 knots, these craft were principally employed in towing lighters, barges and craft that lacked their own power. Tugs of this type were powered either by diesel or steam and performed a whole variety of work by keeping barges, dock and river plant moving and were available anywhere anytime. However, tugs of this size were unable to handle large vessels since they lacked the necessary weight and power.
