Magleby Maersk departs Felixstowe berth 9 with 2 Svitzer tugs 28th September 2016



Published on 29 Sep 2016
After a delay by a late departure from the Maersk Kawasaki, the Magleby Maersk sails from Felixstowe berth 9 with a draft of 14.5 metres for her next port of Algeciras in Spain. Two Svitzer tugs were assisting the pilot onboard Magleby to help the Magleby Maersk away from the quay. The Svitzer Deben on the centre lead aft and the Svitzer Sky on the starboard quarter both pulled on the stern while the bow thrusters was manoeuvring the bow. After coming ahead on the main engines the Svitzer Sky comes around onto the port quarter and sticks her bow alongside to push on the stern while the Svitzer Deben positions herself on the starboard quarter for a powered in-direct around the 90° Beach End turn out to sea.
