How Do You Dock a Ship Into a Port That's 200 Feet Short?

The Viking Sea is docking into the Scottish port of Lerwick. It's a major challenge considering the port is over 200 feet shorter than the ship. Can the staff captain in charge dock without causing damage?

The staff captain "yeah!" lol Thrilled.

So, that's Lerwick? It's smaller than I thought it was going to be. I read that Lerwick has an art museum, a modern-art museum, a natural history museum, a planetarium, 2 universities, a 42 acre botanical garden, 7 nightclubs, 3 Michelin Guide restaurants, 22 pubs, and a 12,000 square foot roller disco with free admission to all cruise guests.

Was on this ship this morning with the pilots in Basseterre..really nice ship...wasn't this captain nor staff captain though.

The only reason the staff captain got to dock the ship was because the captain did not want to be liable for destroying a 300 million dollar vessel

[@costazurra]
