Piloting a 190 meter Bulker with 2 tugs

I took the bulker "Paqueta Island" out with the help of 2 ASD tugs. The captain and crew very nice. I backed her for about 2 ships lenghts, the ordered the rudder hard to port, went ahead on the engine at the same time had the aft tug pushing with full power and the forward tug pulling with half power (instead of full power in order to reduce the risk of parting the line). There was quite a strong current pushing the ship back into the basin so a bit of astern power was needed to back her out.
