The pulling strength of the tugboats and the tensile strength of the ropes never fail to amaze me. Fabulous video that.

Don't know if it is of any use to you or not but if you have a look at the PLA shipping movements, there is a tug called DIAN KINGDOM which seems to be doing a couple of trips from Harwich to the Kentish Flat Wind Farm. From Harwich to the Wind Farm it requires a pilot but not on the way back so don't know if it is towing something out to the wind farm or not. The PLA give the time at WARPS but not sure how long it takes to sail to there from Harwich.

Dian Kingdom is currently berthed at harwich (came in this morning) but not sure if she was towing anything.will keep an eye out.

Cool name! Great capture, as usual UK. Looking forward to your posts in 2024. Happy New Year and, cheers.

[@UKShipspottingRailFreightTV]

Thank you for watching and glad you like the vid.Its her 2nd visit so thought I would film her.

[@ThamesShips]

Happy New Year to you! An excellent video to kick off 2024. Calm seas and blue sky. It is also good to film a ship leaving a port that has the same name as the ship!

[@UKShipspottingRailFreightTV]

Happy new year to u and thank you for watching.I've heard that the tilbury/gravesend ferry is under threat and could be stopped after march mainly because Kent Council can't afford to keep it running.Would be a shame to lose it.

[@ThamesShips]

@@UKShipspottingRailFreightTV I didn't know that. Yes - I agree.

Good gracious, that is one behemoth & great footage 👍

[@UKShipspottingRailFreightTV]

Thank you for watching.I have maybe another 4vids from yesterday still to do.However if they don't get many views I may stop doing youtube as its not worth doing for the few views I do get but we will see.

[@SMX815]

@@UKShipspottingRailFreightTV Keep up the good work & great video 👏

Thing is: these behemoths are regular visitors to Felixstowe - but their arrival and departure still attract crowds to witness their physics defying manoeuvres (staying afloat 😂)
