three tugs to dock that little pisspot?...in what looks to be fairly calm winds.....guvmint op for sure
Its was on its initial builders sea trials. The maneuvering thrusters for docking were probably not tasked to be tested this trip.
But it is not a small vessel. It displaces between 14,000 and 16,000 tons...so without using the thrusters, it needs attention...and its new, so they do not want to make mistakes.
