Hello Mats; I went to see the pictures and comments.
Strange manoevres!!. Why did Maersk come to Port at first?; that's the question.We already learn on Nautical College that this move isn't preferrable...
Although before making a point : we first have to know ALL data...
Interesting though; certainly after having experienced two collisions in my pilot-career on RiverScheldt.

regards Geert(Zappa)
Dutch Riverpilot for 31 years(1965/08 untill 1996/01) on RiverScheldt(located in Belgium/The Netherlands); between Flushing and Antwerp vice-versa..Over 4000 ships of all sizes were piloted in that period.
