Time-lapse recordings show how the powerful "Enseleni" tug boat, now residing in Cape Town, was 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 team 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 come true.
