Agwi & Anthem's Lines - a photo on Flickriver

Anthem of the Seas cruise ship visits Liverpool again. This time she arrives in terrible weather. very windy, river swells and rainy squalls.

The Cruise Liverpool Terminal boatmen and Bluepoint coxswain still take their little gigboat, Agwi out to heave those heavy lines onto both of the CLT's dolphins.

Due to the weight of the lines and staff shortages, they could only do one dolphin at a time and it's 3 men per dolphin.

The gigboat would then collect the lines and take them to the dolphin to be heave up and placed over the bollards. Three lines per dolphin.

Svitzer Warden ASD tug was on standby for a possible MOB (man overboard) situation as she was dismissed from the cruise ship after assisting her with her swing onto the berth.

Very difficult work in those conditions! They were actually going to cancel the job which would have seen Anthem of the Seas depart and head outbound.

They decided to continue the job and executed it brilliantly!

Very underappreciated workers! Pilots, tugmen, boatmen, coxswains etc. of the Mersey are what keep the visits coming!!
