The Queen Mary 2 displaces 151,400 tons, but barely scrapes in above Sydney Cove's muddy bottom as she berths at the Overseas Passenger Terminal.
The QM2 berthed at 6.30am yesterday, with a special heavy-duty anchor sunk into the seabed at Campbell Cove to ensure safe berthing for the 345-metre, 151,4000-tonne ship.
All bathymetry survey work is carried out by SPC suvey department with MBES, and shallow siesmic geophysical surveys were carried out by EGS onboard the SPC survey vessel Investigator in preparation for deployment of the anchor in Cambell Cove.
