However, boat lovers will be unable to catch a glimpse of the boat as it was scheduled to leave at 4am on Saturday. 

It is the latest in a string of large container ships to dock in Felixstowe. 

The Ever Alot also arrived at the port on Thursday this week, while the MSC Loreto made its maiden voyage earlier this year.
