SeapixOnline- Container ships - 1 of 1 NORA MAERSK (2000/27300grt/IMO 9192478) may appear, as she did to many Aucklanders, to be sinking but in fact she is seen here undergoing repairs to her bow thruster unit. With her forward cargo removed, she was towed to a suitably deep part of Auckland Harbour where her stern was ballasted to raise the bow so technicians could gain external access to her thruster. This procedure is commonplace and usually occurs while the vessels are alongside but unfortunately, Auckland's wharves do not have sufficient depth of water.
