The 369.076 metre, 14354TEU Talos sails as part of the Asia Europe service Loop3 bound for Southampton.
The Damen ASD 3212 tugs Svitzer Kent and Svitzer Deben assist the Talos off the berth. Both tugs were made fast on the centre leads, Deben forward and Kent aft.
Once the tugs were fast the pilot radios through to Harwich VTS to ask for permission to depart Felixstowe Berth 7.
Clearance was granted so the pilot gave the orders to single up. With the pilot on the bridge wing the last of the lines were released off the bollards and the tugs in position ready to pull her off the berth.
Svitzer Deben goes straight off at 25% shortly followed the Kent going on at 25%. Edging away from the berth the tugs increase up to 50% then 75%.
The pilot comes ahead on the main engine then gets the Deben to come in straight ahead ready to let go from the centre lead forward. Deben peals off to the Felixstowe side. Svitzer Kent fast on the centre lead aft comes in to let go and comes clear to power up the portside of the Talos to head out for the next job of the morning which was the APL Charleston inbound near the Harwich Approach Buoy.
