Maersk Guayaquil leaves the Port of Felixstowe bound for Hamburg 14th August 2018

The Maersk Guayaquil departs Felixstowe bound for Hamburg.  Two Svitzer tugs, Svitzer Deben and Svitzer Sky, assist with a pull off the berth. Once the pilot had began to run the main engine ahead, the forward tug was released and stood down.   The pilot held the aft tug a little while longer so he knew the ship would steer ok then when he was happy the aft tug was released. The Deben follows the Maersk Guayaquil out of the harbour as the next job Maersk Geneva was closing in on Felixstowe.

OOCL Kobe departs Felixstowe with the Maersk Kawasaki following 30 minutes later 19th July 2018

The day kicked off with some ultra large movements. Just before the next large movement, 2 smaller vessels Oocl Kobe and Maersk Kawasaki both departed Felixstowe's Trinity Terminal.  The first was OOCL Kobe which was helped away from the berth by Svitzer Deben. Once the mooring gangs and Svitzer Deben had finished with the Kobe, they went to station with the Maersk Kawasaki.
