Pilot on board, let go all mooring ropes

On a small vessel this is a short command with spectacular results sometimes. On a bigger vessel however, nothing happens the first twenty minutes. Vessels like these, the Delta Victory with her 100.000 tons and 250 meters length, and the Front Page (on the right) with her 300.000 tons and 330 m over all, are way too big for quick respons. Their manoeuvring speed is espressed in centimeters per minute, otherwise the mass multiplied by acceleration can and will give you serious headache if choosen too high.
Check the scale and the captains and pilots on both bridgewings.

Big tankers must be seen LARGE
