The Moscow Maersk, the third to be built out of 11 in the 2nd generation Triple E Class will be arriving to Felixstowe today on her maiden voyage to Europe. The 20568TEU ship is expected to board a pilot at the Sunk Pilot Station around 10:30UTC to head inbound for Felixstowe Berth 9. She has a maximum draft of 14 metres from her last port of Tangier-Med, Morocco. A video of her arrival will be posted later on here.

The Moscow Maersk swings to starboard off the berth with Svitzer Stanford and Svitzer Sky assisting on stern. The pilot uses the bow thruster to slide the Moscow Maersk into position alongside. Moscow Maersk's starboard swing of Felixstowe with 2 Svitzer tugs onto Felixstowe Berth 9.  Here is the video of her arriving. https://youtu.be/US8i398-Ha0
