This page shows the arrivals and departures at Dover Eastern docks on the afternoon of Friday 12th June 2009. I arrived at Dover Castle at 13:00hrs on Friday 12th June 2009, and the ferries in port were the Maersk Dunkerque, Pride of Burgundy and SeaFrance Berlioz. I remained on the Admiralty lookout until 17:10 when Berlioz returned again and Burgundy was close.

Gross tonnage : 7264 - Type of ship : Passenger/Ro-Ro Cargo Ship - Year of build : 1987 - Flag : France


SeaFrance Nord-pas-de-Calais  arrived off Dover before the Pride of Calais (having arrived before her scheduled arrival time of 14:00), but suffered a failure in one of her main engines and aborted her port approach. She circled off the Eastern Entrance and called for tug assistance - Dauntless was despatched. As Dauntless arrived SeaFrance Nord-pas-de-Calais entered the port at 14:00. Her engine had been restarted but the tug remained on stand-by as a precaution. Unfortunately Dauntless was not close enough to SeaFrance Nord-pas-de-Calais  to get an image with them together.
