"Marticia" in IJmuiden locks and positioned with the help of a laserbeam.

 

Viewed from top of wheelhouse on center line of the vessel.

Right side of picture shows assistant who listened in on the

laser signal, and visually observed the laser light.

He informed pilot etc. about the position of fore- and aft-ship

relative to the laser indicated center line.

 

ship is now moored port side in the IJmuiden locks,

the laser guiding light, faintly to be seen starboard side of fore mast

just under the blocked spreader in the fore mast .

Laser light indicates ships position to be approx 50cm to port of the centerline.

That's about all the manouvering space she had.
