The powerful "Enseleni" tug boat, now residing in Cape Town, is seen being launched from the berth of SAFBuild in the port of Durban, South Africa... but with a difference. The 2 day-long process has been speeded up from 6 hrs to 30 seconds! Watch how a magnitude of 400 men guide and slide a $15 million, Voith Propulsion tug over 200m using 80 gallons of dish washing soap to eventually be lifted and dropped gently into the bay. This was an engineers nightmare, and dream.
