New on Shipping TV: Unusually employing one tug astern, and one tug on the starboard quarter, with no bow tug, the biggest container ship in the world, 19,224 TEU MSC Oscar arrives Felixstowe and swings, 26th May 2015:
Still holding on to the title of world's largest ship, MSC Oscar arrives at the port of Felixstowe, swings and berths with 2 tugs - Svitzer Stanford on the stern, and Svitzer Intrepid on the starboard quarter. This means the ship was relying completely on bow thrusters for bow maneuvering, unusual to see with a ship of this size at Felixstowe.
