I've seen those small boats pushing ships, but never pulling...

always like Landrover's ads...this one is witty too.
but if i may ask, why need smaller ship?

Smaller ship is a Tug. They may be small, but they're powerful enough to tow super-tankers.

Why in the ad? Well, the LR is so powerful is can pull both vessels - thereby declaring the vehicles torque and power - why get a tug when you can get a Defender? Get it?

I like this ad.

Does'nt it look like the VW ad with a car pulling an airplane? Is it not the same idea? Does someone remeber?

Hmm, not the same. But If you're going to compare someones work to someone elses work don't come off as being happy for debunking it.
