Tanker Sola and Norwegian navy frigate Helga Ingstad collide off Norway

The tug was made fast aft as he should be. He is there to assist in stopping the tanker in an emergency, or to help steering it in case of lost steerage, not to save fuel.

When a made fast tug is not pulling to assist in stopping or turning, he just sits there being pulled free and save fuel !
