Narrative:
Shortly after gear extension we started getting EICAS cautions from system related to and including the loss of the center hydraulic system. The copilot completed the checklists and I decided to continue the approach to a landing since the gear was down and the flaps fully extended. After landing I was able to clear the runway and position the aircraft in a nearby holding area. The nose steering had deteriorated; so I requested and received a tow to the gate.

Title: B777-200 CAPTAIN REPORTS CENTER HYDRAULIC FAILURE AFTER GEAR AND FLAPS ARE EXTENDED FOR LANDING. ACFT LANDS SAFELY WITH TOW TO GATE FOR LACK OF NOSEWHEEL STEERING.
Narrative: SHORTLY AFTER GEAR EXTENSION WE STARTED GETTING EICAS CAUTIONS FROM SYS RELATED TO AND INCLUDING THE LOSS OF THE CTR HYD SYS. THE COPLT COMPLETED THE CHKLISTS AND I DECIDED TO CONTINUE THE APCH TO A LNDG SINCE THE GEAR WAS DOWN AND THE FLAPS FULLY EXTENDED. AFTER LNDG I WAS ABLE TO CLR THE RWY AND POS THE ACFT IN A NEARBY HOLDING AREA. THE NOSE STEERING HAD DETERIORATED; SO I REQUESTED AND RECEIVED A TOW TO THE GATE.
