Napoli\'s Cargo - An Oh Sugar Moment
Watching the next barge load of containers from the stranded Napoli as it approached Portland Harbour I felt really sorry for the pilot as it was approaching the harbour entrance.
The pilot was giving directions to the Portland tugs that were assisting the manoeuvre through the gap when he calmly stated "Main tug's lost one engine, keep alert" or words to that effect.
What a moment for engine failure and we get nervous when our engines stutter a little bit.
