Title: Docking POR
Post by: Agent|Austin on September 04, 2009, 09:34:24
Just some random fun.  ;D

(Now thanks that I figured out screenshot is F7 not F10, lol)

Reverse Thrust slowly

Still need to go back a bit

How close I got to the dock, without hitting it

Almost there

Made it!

Ready to load!

Slacking out the bow line so the harbor crew can get out off the bollard

Nicely done  :P

Do you know where the real P&O terminal is? (This is the Stena one)

I sometimes dock their too.. Though it's a good job that VSTEP didn't put a damage model for the bridge as the passenger gangway always hit my bridge when I dock there. :P

That's because the real ship that docks there is 240m long, 35m longer than POR so the gangway would connect to that ship..

Maybe VSTEP could add the Stena ship at some point since we have the terminal  :2thumbs:

That's a fine ship to be added in favour of that terminal.  Also I saw in 2006 Stena Discovery was docking there also - hence to add her as a big cat ferry would be appropriate.  :thumbs:

HSS Discovery now am I right?  ;D Also isn't she getting a long range fuel tank put in at Holyhead for her transfer?

Who knows???

She was supposed to have left a few weeks back.

But i believe she will be heading to Holyhead for fuel...

Edit: Yes she is HSS Discovery now

Then that's Ok, a fine ship to fill the RORO freighter gap.

WM asked which vessel docks at the old Hoek HSS berth now...He then removed his message before I posted that so I couldn't quote him  ::)
