A while previous the pilot onboard the heavy load carrier Zhen Hua 23 swung her off Trinity 1 and swung again to go starboard side to Berth 9. Once they had made her fast he pilot transfered onto the Marie Maersk for her departure.
The pilot boards Marie and two Svitzer tugs which were pushing up on the Zhen Hua while she was making fast alongside. Tugs all finished with Zhen Hua 23, they go to stations on the Marie Maersk. Svitzer Deben makes fast centre lead aft and Svitzer Sky makes fast centre lead forward.
Both tugs ease the Marie Maersk off the berth into the channel. As the pilot comes ahead on both engines, Sky closes up to let go while Deben drops in astern. Sky stands by on the port quarter but the pilot said the quarter tug could be stood down near the Fort Buoy as Deben would be enough to steer Marie around the 90 degree Beach End.
Passing the Fort Buoy, the pilot gets the Deben to move out onto the starboard side for a full power indirect.
