1st November 1993 was my first sighting (and arrival?) of NORBANK at Hull. Remarkable that she has kept the old NSF name for 30 years. As has NORBAY.


Yup - and she hasn't taken the NOK route either, so still on her way there. POH went upstream to drydock for only a day or two.

Pity to lose the penultimate NOR, just the BAY left now.

Well, hard to think they're about 30 years old now. Opened up the RT1 berth, that had taken a lot of work to get through Parliament for approval. I remember visiting old '2 Jags' in his office in Parliament, as it went though the last stages of approval.
