This paper presents an application of linear and nonlinear analyses to the turning ability of a towing system consisting of a tug and a barge. The influence of several parameters is examined on the turning performance of the towing system. Longer towline, larger tug and tow point nearer to the bow of the barge increase the turning diameter. Tow point on the tug closer to its centre of gravity decreases the turning diameter significantly.
