Heading into the first turn - shallow on the starboard so the tug gets moved to the port side of the stern. It also allows for better leverage to push the bow to port through the 90 degree turn and the ability to back to check the port turn. The offset position also keeps the wheels in good water.
Straight ahead now through the opening with one more 90 degree turn to port
