travelnap Posted November 17, 2019 #51 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Crown Princess is underway with a departure toot, and I heard them mention something about trying the thrusters to the tugboat Trident, so they may have a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travelnap Posted November 17, 2019 #53 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Looks like the Nieuw Statendam is dropping lines so she may follow Crown Princess out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sevenseasnomad Posted November 17, 2019 #54 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Why would they attempt to leave if there's a problem with thrusters or any other mechanical system? Maybe those who know more about ships could respond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe those who know more about ships could respond. The reason could be for several reasons with none of them due to a problem with the thrusters. Example, a strong wind from the West could be "pinning" the ship to the side of the pier with a force that her thrusters would not be able to overcome. Thus, the Captain would request tug assistance to get off the dock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, if the Captain doesn't, if they have a Q &A session with the Captain, remind him of the Port Everglades web site and the many who watch sailaways and always appreciate toots. I have been to some Q & A's and reminded one ship's Master of this "fact". He seemed to appreciate my comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
