Pacific Aria - Still at Portside

[Hot Chilli]

She was due to leave @ 2.00pm but is still moored as at 7.50pm. 
 

Usually high winds delay departures from Portside but it’s quite calm today. 
 

Does anybody know what the hold up is?

Looks like she's just left now.  I saw the tugs heading towards Aria to take her out about 2 or so today so something (mechanical or medical?) must have happened at the last minute.

 

it's mechanical apparently going by other posts on facebook

They would have been working hard to get the Aria away from Portside and out of the river before the Pacific Dawn arrived. It takes an hour for a ship to reach the mouth of the river from Portside. The Dawn would have been due to enter the river around 5am this morning.

I wonder what the issue was. Electrical issues?
