The bulk carrier SEA PROTEUS leaving the Thames for Falmouth for orders. She is possibly the largest vessel to berth in Tilbury docks. The lock is 34 m wide and the SEA PROTEUS is 32 m beam a tight fit. A group of us were listening on the pilots radio and there was a lot of communication between the bridge and the tugs.. Her tonnage is 43,951gt with a dead weight of over 80,000 . The photo with the pilot vessel GUIDE alongside gives a good perspective of her size with men on the deck.
