Hercules is used for large-scale operations and important contracts. During periods of bad weather, he is out at sea answering distress calls, and is often sent out to escort large vessels into the port. He is often considered to be one of the fleet's main leaders, and is often placed in charge of large operations. Since he is usually out at sea and not in Bigg City Port, he is not seen very often and has had little impact on the antics of the other tugs, including those from his own fleet.
