Spanner, is it just coincidence Fawley having so many VLCCs/bordering on ULCC lately (I think most if not all from Middle East). I thought Fawley cat-cracker etc. was geared up for North Sea/Russian crude or isn't it too fussy.

Fawley over the last few years has realigned itself for low sulphur gasoil/Diesel market as demand increases and demand for Petrol has decreased. To achieve this various modifcations have been made to the plant, the demand for crude has deceased hence less crude imports now. The different types of crude may be because of this.
 The Russian crude loaded in Primorsk is very sour and expensive to extract the sulphur and the north sea crude sea is generally quite light,good quality, but expensive and not the best for making diesel. 
 One of the reasons Fawley seems to be getting the crude from Middle East is it is quite good for Gasoil and cheap, it comes from Exxon fields. Normally part discharges in other Esso refineries in Le Harve, Rotterdam before it gets to Fawley.

Spanner, thank you for the clarification.
Yangtze Crown pencilled in for the 29th by VTS ..guess that's the 30th, then.

Just checked AIS not even reached Bay of Biscay yet, Got to go to Le Harve first before Fawley, so it will certainly be a while yet. VTS arrival times are normally posted by the agents. It will probably slip back a bit.

She will be around for a while. Going to discharge part cargo then go to anchor and then return. Reason is there will be not be enough room with the EVRIDIKI which is due to berth 0830/30.

You do have to scratch your head sometimes.
Yangtze Crown went to the anchorage in order to make space for the arriving Evridiki as there would be insufficient space to have both ships berthed on adjacent berths.
Evridiki has now berthed.
Good! All going to plan.
The VTS movements page now shows Evridiki moving from Esso 4 to BP Hamble on 4th September and Yangtze Crown returning to Esso 5 from the anchorage on 1st September. In other words, while Evridiki is still on Esso 4.
Which sort of goes against the reason for Yangtze Crown getting out of the way in the first place!
Ho hum!

My understanding is they will swap berths on the 2nd am, if for some reason Hamble berth is taken then Evridiki will go to anchor first before Hamble.
