Maersk Elba heads out of Felixstowe for Le Havre with Svitzer Kent assisting. 25th September 2017

The 366 metre Maersk Elba sails from Felixstowe Berth 6 with the help of Svitzer Kent fast centre lead aft.

As they came off the berth the pilot varied the Kent's power to pull her clear.

Once clear the pilot came ahead on the main engine and radioed tbe Kent to say they probably didn't require them at the Beach End as they were steering ok.

Passing the Fort Buoy the Kent comes in to be released and retrieves their towing gear from the aft of the Elba.
