A quiet and peaceful February morning was what I've found for the mooring operations of the M/T Gas Renovatio at the terminal of CLCM, located in the fishing village of Caniçal. Although small in size, this vessel stands as a good example of the manoeuvre capabilities that all vessels should have to call these space-restricted buoyage systems. Aside from a quick-reacting main engine and a fair bow thruster power, the vessel is equipped with fast mooring winches and drum ropes, making, therefore, the mooring and unmooring operations faster and secure.
