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

Tide restricted Maersk Edmonton departs Felixstowe with assistance of two Svitzer tugs 17th July 2018

The tide restricted Maersk Edmonton departs Felixstowe Berth 7 for her next port of Le Havre in France.

A Harwich Haven pilot boards the ship for the outward journey to the Sunk where the pilot disembarks onto a pilot launch.



Two Svitzer tugs head up Trinity Terminal to assist the Edmonton off the berth.  Svitzer Shotley makes fast centre lead aft while the Svitzer Intrepid makes fast centre lead forward.

The plan was a simple pull off the berth then release the forward tug when the ship has some headway. The pilot keeps the Shotley fast until they were safely around the 90° Beach End turn at the entrance of the harbour.
