I know you are Fort Lauderdale but this is tight down in the MIA.

Pretty cool and those guys do some great work on the river.
We have a presence in the Port of Miami and I've worked ddown there, but we're only in the deep water area of the port. This is similar, but a bit smaller scale than what we do.
Most of our tugs are deeper than the ships those guys are moving around. My tugs draft is 20'. To work in the river you probably need to draw around 12' or less. We would be hard aground before we got to the the first bridge west of the main port.
We catch the bigger ships at sea and escort them to their berth in the main port and sail them as needed. Similar work but bigger scale.
I posted some videos of my boat on the other forum. Not sure if you got to see them but they showed the engine room, accommodations, wheelhouse, and galley.
Thanks for posting. Those guys kick ass down there.

And a side benefit to working the Miami River boats..if you ding them up or slam them into the dock nobody complains. Bunch of Coastal Haitian Freighters and Tramp boats in the river. Pretty rough crowd down there.

Exactly. We are highly refined on my level. A touch, metal to metal requires reports and investigation in my league. Sux.
