USA flag Maersk Sentosa arrives to Felixstowe during the morning rush 14th September 2017

USA flag Maersk Sentosa arrives for Felixstowe Berth 7. The Sentosa sails as part of the 2M alliance with MSC, Hyundai and Hamburg Süd on the East Coast America Northern Europe route.

The Harwich Haven pilot boards about 12 miles out in the North Sea at the Sunk Pilot Station. Heading inbound via the deep water channel the pilot requests 2 tugs for berthing, first one outside the harbour to make fast centre lead aft and the second at the Beach End bow to bow. It will be a port swing in the middle of harbour.

As they head into the harbour MSC Ditte was preparing to depart berth 9. The pilot onboard MSC Ditte was waiting for the Sentosa to pass before coming off the berth.
