Tough.
Got to keep them moving over 8 knots if possible and have 2 tugs with lines up for when you stop her off the berth.

Container ships, not as bad. The don't have the high molded depth and the draft is usually much deeper. Say 42' draft compared to 26' on a Car Carrier. But your still on your toes

Here is a picture of a Pacific Seacraft (40 I think), we are selling our current boat and will try for one of these or even a 44.

These boats only go on rivers and canals.

My dive boat on my vacation last November to Grand Cayman

Nice one hanging out in St. Lucia on my Honeymoon almost 2 years ago.

And I actually design boats for a living. Working on a ferry for NW Alaska now

Beautiful seaworthy boats, but lots more maintenance than a Beneteau.

Here's a friend's Bristol Channel Cutter out for a day sail-
