I would like one at 1:1 scale

No problem! Give FSG a call...

I suspect I know what the answer will be lots of £££$$$EEE

I know that it is not a drydock but the manoeuvre is almost the same when you enter the old Immingham lock.

There is a lock into the ferry port at Hull, just opposite Immingham, the Pride of Bruges goes in through a tight lock there too.

It doesn't STILL go in there does it? I thought that part of the dock is now closed... If still open, I would like to take a trip up there and have a look (excuse to sail from Hull, as not been there before)

EDIT: This is a pic from another shipping simulator... Doesn't look as good as SS of course, but illustrates the idea quite well.

Yes  McG... There are quite a few similar shots- some are actually quite good... hard to believe the game engine that is driving it!

Now this is a great challenge, only if you operate the ship from the bridge wing. anybody can do it using an outside top down view. But when you are inside the ship, it get's more interesting. And the challenge begins. In really high winds it will go from being a challenge to being crazy to try it LoL.

Interesting pictures!

I see that ship passing verry often biceaus they have (I think) 4-6 sisterships on a lineservice wich passes antwerp.


A long time ago I made a short mission about the POR mooring there but I can't find it anymore.
