TQ6275 : The Grande Nigeria approaches Tilbury Lock

taken 16 years ago, near to Northfleet, Kent, Great Britain

The Grande Nigeria approaches Tilbury Lock

Ships of this size can only enter the lock on a flood tide. It's a very precise manoeuvre assisted by two tugs as the ship only has a few centimetres each side to fit in the lock.
