Out of my wheel house (bad pun) but the tanker is probably under its own power and the tug is attached by line in case something goes wrong on the tanker. If something went wrong there might not be enough time to make the evolution from the tanker in control to the tug. If lines are attached there is a chance.

I think that the tug lost power and was being towed. You will never see a situation like this.. Or at least I have never seen this on the bay.. When I saw them, they were under the bridge and a 40'foot coast guard boat was there as well.

Could have been a CG safety precaution. These armed escorts are commonplace in EverettBoston Harbor.

I remember watching them take the North Cape up the bay after the oils spill off Moonstone. Talk about an armada. I think there was even an ocean going tug involved.

The times I've seen it there has been strong wind and the tug was in reverse. As Sandman says the gut is fairly tight quarters and it wouldn't take a lot for the stern to get a little squirrely in those conditions.
