The Tokyo Triumph sails as part of the Asia Europe Loop 6
At 365.90 metres long and 51.2 metres wide she has a gross tonnage of 150709t and maximum capacity of 13870TEU.
A pilot headed out to the Sunk Pilot station around 12 nautical miles in the North Sea. Once onboard the pilot requested only one tug for berthing to make fast before the Platters Buoy outside the harbour. The pilot believed that the bow thrusters would be sufficiant to bring her portside to berth 7.
Heading inwards the Svitzer Deben leaves the tug pontoon to make fast aft of the Tokyo Triumph.
Rounding the 90deg Beach End turn into the harbour the ship came into view and slowly procceds towards the middle of the harbour where the pilot began the port swing by getting the Deben to go out on the starboard side to take her round.
Once swung the pilot comes astern on the main engine and backs up to berth 7 where the Deben pulls the stern towards the the quay. A short while later the Deben comes onto the starboard side into a check position but soon after the Tokyo Triumph needed a push towards the quay as the wind was not helping much.
Final tie up 5 and 3 with spring lines first.
