Why do tugboats have taller masts than other ships

Maybe its to hold lights and maybe water cannons etc.

A question mark would be helpful when you're asking a question

Usually, the mast is taller to allow room for the towing lights, they have to be at least a Meter (Or two! I've forgot

) apart (as far as I'm aware). Although, I am talking about regulations that are roughly about 8-10 years old here. So it may not be the same now.

Correct, also because of the required height between the headlights and sidelights.

Ahhh so, I was right

Thanks for the confirmation, in my own mind as well!
