Aye Aye , see that Maersk boat berthed in the river.....well, the Maersk Finder was tied up there, port side too, a real `howler` of a night. Parted it`s after moorings and started going down the jetty, the bow actually went into one of the jetty `insets` where the ladders go down to the water and it holed its bow.(EEK)
Luckily, the engines were started and ship under command before a real disaster occured..........caused a `bit` of a panic, and the nigh****chman was just thinking about putting another stern rope out too....when bang`!!.....sure I have photo`s of repair being carried out.....anyone who has berthed there will know how strong the current of the River Dee is.............ye don`t get a second chance
)[=P]
Your comment of that incident ` Scurdie`, just brought it all back to me)
