Yes Seahorse collected a load of stone from Fitnes and has gone down to the Breagh Pipeline to deposit her cargo into the trench to cover the pipeline. Fines is to load the remainder of her cargo into Flintstone which arrived in the Tyne early doors this morning.

These are some shots of Seahorse going outbound on 2nd June 2012 and photographed from Western Quay, North Shields.

Was wondering at 38metres if this was the widest beam that I've seen on the Tyne ;-)

"Was wondering at 38metres if this was the widest beam that I've seen on the Tyne "

Low air draught and shorter length make her look very wide in the Beam.

In comparison the OSPREY that took Swan Hunter's to India was 44.5 m (ex Jahre Trader, 142,031 Dwt.)

and Texaco Great Britain was 51.9 m.

But did you see them, that is the question.......... :) :)

The answer to that is no, unfortunately not :roll:
