CSCL Arctic Ocean Arriving at the Port of Felixstowe 10th May 2017

MSC Eloane swings at Felixstowe. Two Svitzer tugs assist with a port swing. 25th April 2018

The 400 metres MSC Eloane makes her way from bremerhaven to the Sunk Pilot Station with a maximum draught of 12.4 metres.

A Harwich Haven pilot boards the MSC Eloane and makes his way up to the bridge. A few minutes later the pilot radios Harwich VTS to confirm that they were inbound with a draught 12.4 metres for Felixstowe Berth 9.  VTS replies there was a ready berth planned portside to Felixstowe Berth 9, wind on the Landguard and the outbound traffic. The pilot replies he would like two tugs for berthing, the first tug centre lead aft at 7&8 with the second outside the harbour on the starboard quarter then move around to the port quarter then possibly make fast on the port shoulder depending on how the bow thrusters react.
