Re: Cruise ship collides with dock & tourist boat
What was the port pilot thinking ??? - ships that big can't exactly do an emergency stop. The port pilot should have been proceeding at 'Slow Ahead' from some miles outside the port and use the tugs to slow it down even further if necessary and use the bow and stern thrusters - what was this idiot thinking ???Re: Cruise ship collides with dock & tourist boat

Re: Cruise ship collides with dock & tourist boat
The Cruise Ships are now coming up here and they're a blooming pest, some are too big to get into the Harbour and the passengers have to come ashore by small boats. It's not as if they even put much money into the place, they mooch around the few shops but very seldom buy and they don't eat as they get all their meals on board. Then they move on to the Orkneys where it's much the same performance there. Just seeing the sights then going back on board.
