3rd tug trip, centre lead forward tow
« on: April 09, 2015, 12:20:55 PM »
With the co-operation of Svitzer UK at Felixstowe, I'm filming my way through the variety of techniques used by the tug skippers to work with their massive charges.

This time I took a trip with Svitzer Shotley to go bow to bow with the 13,092 Maersk Edinburgh, to hook up the bow towrope as the ship enters harbour. It really is quite an intimidating moment when you look up and see just how far above you the ship's crew are when the throw the heaving line!

Search for Maersk Edinburgh on the video page.
