As Florida’s cutterhead chews the harbor bottom away at the rate of 43,200 revolutions per day … in ideal conditions of teeth staying permanently sharp, vessels of all provenances and sizes sashay in and out and around. By New York standards, Maersk Kokura is large, at 1040′ loa x 138′ beam, and its keel mere feet above Florida‘s anchor line.
What drew my attention was the number of tugs: three.
Amy C McAllister and Maurania III on starboard, and
outa-towner Resolute on port.
I’ve no numbers on clearance below the Bayonne to the uppermost portions of Kokura. Anyone?
