High Tide
The Stars and the Z-stacks are both competing for a big steel contract. The fleet which can transport the most steel in one day, wins the contract. The canal is a short cut through Bigg City, but Big Mac of the Stars decides to go round the bay and let Zeb and Zac of the Z-stacks go through the canal. At first Warrior of the Stars is confused by Big Mac's idea for both of them to go round the bay, but the short cut through the canal wasn't necessarily the best route.

High Winds
An old dirty tramper, the notorious Johnny Cuba, suspected of smuggling lurks outside the limits of Bigg City bay. He forces Zebedee, one of the Z-stacks, to tow him into the safety of the harbour.

Episode 12 • Jun 19, 1989
Up River
Towing huge piles of logs was always a very dangerous operation. When the snows begin to melt and the river swells up there's added danger because the sudden rush of water could cause log jams that need to be carefully entangled. One day a particularly nasty log jam occurs and Big Mac needs Sunshine to help him clear it, but the little tug gets trapped.
Episode 13 • Jun 26, 1989
Bigg Freeze
Every winter the big liner Vienna would come to Bigg City Port to pick up supplies and re-fuel. This year however, the harbour was frozen over, so the tugs have to take supplies out as far as Lillie the Lightship, as this was as near as a big ship like Vienna could go to the harbour. Problems begin when Lillie the Lightship runs out of fuel and things just start getting worse when the Z-stacks show up.
