Ultra large Titan eases from Felixstowe Berth 6 with the help for two Svitzer tugs 6th March 2018

Ultra large Titan eases away from Felixstowe Berth 6 with the assistance of Svitzer Shotley made fast centre lead aft and Svitzer Deben made fast centre lead forward.  The 369 metre Titan sails on the EPIC 1 (Europe Pakistan India Consortium) route which calls at Felixstowe before going to Southampton.

Once the tugs were made fast they get in a pull position ready to work. As the spring lines were released and bought back onboard,the pilot got the Shotley to increse power aft and the same for the Deben. Steadily the Debn goes up too full power to help get the bow away from the berth and clear from the APL Oregon which was berthed in Trinity 5.

Clear from the berth, the pilot gives a kick ahead on the main engine to start with to get her moving. As a the speed began to pick up the pilot goes ahead.  Deben stops towing and gets in position to let go. Once the Deben was clear the Shotley closes up to let go. Just after being released the Shotley went to her next job on Trinity 4, The Maersk Durban.
