Eugen Maersk coming ahead after easing off the Felixtowe Berth 8 with 2 Svitzer tugs 24th September

The Eugen Maersk departs Felixstowe Berth 8 with two Svitzer tugs. The Euge had to wait for the services from the inbound MSC Katyayni which had swung and making fast on Trinity 5. Svitzer Shotley left the tug pontoon and was the first tug to assist the Eugen. Svitzer Kent finished with Katyayni began to make her way to Eugen Maersk. Shortly after both tugs were made fast. The mooring gang in assistance, lines released the tugs began to pull the Eugen clear of the berth.

Svitzer Shotley all done with, is released and heads back to the tug pontoon. The pilot holds onto the Svitzer Kent around the 90deg Beach End just incase she needs a little help turning out of the harbour.

Svitzer Kent is released and poodles back into the harbour to wait for their next job. As  the Eugen Maersk picks up speed heading out to the Sunk via the main channel she passes the world's largest container ship OOCL Hong Kong heading inbound for Felixstowe Berth 8.
