CSCL Arctic Ocean Arriving at the Port of Felixstowe 10th May 2017

Ultra large MSC Fillippa departs Felixstowe Berth 6 with 2 tugs. 11th May 2017

Ultra large MSC Fillippa departs Felixstowe with a draft of 12.55m to her next port of Hamburg. 2 Svitzer tugs pull the Fillippa off Felixstowe Berth 6.

Svitzer kent takes the Centre lead aft while Svitzer Shotley take the centre lead forward. The pilot has the tugs push up on the starboard side as they singles up as the wind was on the portside and not helping with letting go.

Once off the berth the Fillippa comes ahead on the main engine and the Shotley eases up to come in to let go from forward. Shotley is released and breaks away to the Felixstowe side. The pilot keeps the Kent fast until he knows she can steer well at the Shotley Spit. On a Southerly heading along the Shelf, the pilot gets the Kent to close up and let go.

Fillippa leaves the harbour and heads towards the Sunk where the pilot disembarks and the ship heads for Hamburg.
