Launching a big ship in water in Netherlands

Big ship launch in Netherland. But what we can see that the tugboat was nearly sunk at lunching ceremony.

Tugboats help to maneuver the ship into position before launching. Large ships often require assistance due to their size and the restricted space in shipyards or docks.

During the launch itself, tugboats assist in controlling the speed and direction of the ship as it enters the water. This is particularly important to ensure a smooth and safe launch without causing damage to the ship or the surrounding infrastructure.
