A starboard bow view, taken from very fine off the bow, of the container ship ACT 2 (1969) about to enter the New Dry Dock at Tilbury. She is in ballast and the harbour tugs Plankton (1965) and Placard (1966) are casting off. Her hull paintwork is in a poor condition. The photographer is on the leading-in girder inside the dry dock. Transparencies numbers P63238CT to P63271CT inclusive were taken on the same day.
