A very busy day for the Harwich Haven Pilots and Svitzer tugs as the port had a several ultra large movements. Deep draughted OOCL Germany was ready to depart Felixstowe Berth 8 to head off to Singapore via the Suez Canal. Two Svitzer tugs were ordered for the departure. Svitzer Kent makes fast centre lead aft while Svitzer Deben centre lead forward. Both tugs pull the OOCL Germany clear of the berth into the harbour.
As the OOCL Germany was only had about 6 knots the pilot had the svitzer Deben to push up on the port quarter for a push indirect.
