Collision during berthing

摘要

Own vessel, a product tanker in ballast, was moving from anchorage to her designated berth. As she passed the breakwater inwards, a tugwas made fast on the port quarter. She was to berth starboard side to, astern of another moored vessel. After she was swung in the turning basin, she headed towards her berth at about three knots. When approaching the berth, the master and the pilot stationed themselves on the starboard wing and manoeuvring control was transferred to the bridge wing unit.
