In the harbour in the city of Wellington on the North Island of New Zealand, the waterfront is lined with bright red tug boats. The harbour provides service to the North Island of New Zealand and commercial shipping is a common sight around this city where the tug boats tow, pilot and aid the larger ships into their berth.
Wellington City has the largest container port and the red tug boats are sometimes needed twenty-four hours a day to keep up the fast pace of the industry. On a regular basis, the movement around the harbour consists of helicopters, a passenger/vehicle ferry, ships and tug boats.
