Hi Juan, just saw your comment and was a bit surprised by it. I rarely see a VLCC with the bow first being moored in the Caland Canal, even it is considered to be more efficient. It is also much more common to berth the ship along a jetty with the stern closest to the shore, rather than the other way round. I always thought that by mooring this way the ships could make it to open water under their power, in case of sever emergency, when there is no time to wait for tugs.
