Possible, but showing NUC and very erratic cog. Not seen that on in the Formosa before, not a busy port.Waiting for a pilot - refresh.
Needed a push start - heading south now!Possible, but showing NUC and very erratic cog. Not seen that on in the Formosa before, not a busy port.
Is it normal to drift around waiting for a pilot for 22 hours?
One of those NUC nearly got me two years ago as we passed Cadiz. They were mooching, it was midnight.Wonder what's up with these guys, speed back down to 0.6Kn. Showing NUC on AIS. Looks like it might be a little tense onboard.......

No he's not, gone back for another go at the entrance.Needed a push start - heading south now!
Quite a few drift NUC just the other side of Gib waiting to go in.One of those NUC nearly got me two years ago as we passed Cadiz. They were mooching, it was midnight.
Could this have been a crew change?
November 9th now! Welsh Gov shenanigans!Quite a few drift NUC just the other side of Gib waiting to go in.
Tied up now anyway. NUC doesn't really mean that much, might have been like that for years or maybe they switched it on while drifting around. Pilot went out 11am this morning, waiting a day for a pilot to go into port?One of those NUC nearly got me two years ago as we passed Cadiz. They were mooching, it was midnight.

Does the skipper's spirit count?Unless I've completely misunderstood the definition of NUC, they failed the Day Skipper exam for putting NUC unless something was broken
Still happens quite often though. Ships will drift waiting to get into port and occasionally some show NUC.Unless I've completely misunderstood the definition of NUC, they failed the Day Skipper exam for putting NUC unless something was broken
