As cargo operations had finished and the cranes had boomed up, all the pilot was waiting for was the Svitzer Shotley which was about to be released from the aft of her last job the ultra large Titan heading out of the harbour. Svitzer Shotley released she swings around to assist the Maersk Durban off the berth.
The pilot required the Shotley to take the centre lead aft. As the bollard rating was less than the Shotley's bollard pull, the pilot planned to pull square off the berth and then use the flooding tide to swing the bow out.
After going ahead on the main engine, Shotley is released and heads back to the tug pontoon. Approaching 7&8 Buoys outbound the Maersk Durban passes the inbound Viona.
