MSC Mykonos | Leaving Lock | 9 Beaufort

The MSC Mykonos was having troubles with leaving the Zandvlietlock with only 1 tugboat at the stern (Union Kodiak).

The wind was SW 9 Beaufort that day...

The bowthruster was not able to push the bow into the wind, so a 2nd tug (Multratug 5) was called.

With the 2nd tug everything went smooth ! Good job from the Captain, Pilot and Tugboats !
