The 195 metre Stena Foreteller arrives to a beautiful sunny Harwich. A Harwich Haven pilot boarded the Foreteller at the Cork Pilot Station and began to proceed inwards via the main channel.
As she passed through the harbour a Svitzer tug went to the Beach End corner into the harbour to meet the Stena Foreteller. This is very unusual as it was a calm morning, she only normally have tugs if the wind picks up to an unsafe level to berth on their own. I guess she had some mechanical issue onboard and required a little assistance with swinging for the Navyard 2.
Svitzer Shotley went to assist her by making fast portside lead aft ready for the port swing at the mouth of the River Stour to go starboard side to Harwich Navyard 2
