The winter edition of 'Waterfront' [The Port of FXT magazine] states that 111 tubular steel pilings are to be used in the construction of berth #9, these are 36 metres long, 2.36 metres in diameter and weigh 43 tonnes

This morning I watched the dredger Boskalis Strandway partly backfill the new finger quay at FXT, these suction/plough dredgers are very powerful, the video I shot from an extremely blowy shipping viewpoint, hence the noise on the microphone, so deaden the sound, the stills were photographed through the window of the car

There is one of those huge container ships [MSC Flavia] being pulled off Berth 8 in the background and it took 3 tugs to manoeuvre this 366 metre monster weighing 166000 tons into the shipping channel http://youtu.be/XEmBeTkevRU
