    Re #11:

    The P&O ferry is alongside loading on berth ED9. The Delft Seaways is manoeuvring to go astern into berth ED6. The winds have been very strong southwesterly all day, 40-45 knots, and it is necessary to go head up into wind across the ends of the berths and then drop back slowly into the berth, probably running out an anchor to keep the bow up. She may also have had technical issues which protracted the process if you say it seemed to take longer than usual. For example, here on the Dover Seaways we had one of our bow thrusters trip out on overload yesterday due to pushing it to the maximum in the prevailing conditions and had to abort and repeat the process.
