Recently designs were prepared for new seagoing single screw tugs of 2200 hp; also for reconstruction of 2200-hp shallow draft twin screw river towboat; both designs involved application of Kort nozzles with propellers suited to nozzle installation; comparison of two designs made, which gives valuable data applying to towboat propulsion.
