Layby sunday afternoon

[creemaster]

Vessels laid up in the upper river today
SKANDI CONSTRUCTOR at Alcan- probably with crew aboard and on charter as she moves off berth on the rare occasion that an ARKLOW boat discharges alumina - even though the Lynemouth smelter has been closed for several years

[creemaster]

FUGRO SALTIRE at Wimbourne Quay has been in and out several times over the winter and possibly still on charter as it is more expedient to have a vessel sitting idle waiting for a job than to prematurely cancel the charter and find you need her two days later when she is fixed for another company !

Vessels from the Blyth based North Sea Logistics fleet. Ist generation boats AARYAN and ENDEAVOUR and the brand new ENDEAVOUR on the sto ro pontoon at Wimbourne

UP JASPER UP AGATE and GREATSHIP MANISHA at the former power station No.37 oil jetty. GREATSHIP MANISHA moved up there from Battleship Wharf last Thursday so I suspect she came off charter and moved up there out of the way and crew, if any, paid off

GRAND CANYON on Battleship Wharf showing off her impressive stern - titter yee not !!

And not forgetting JOHN WOOD in the port since last May and now around the corner from the main business side of Battleship Wharf
