Just an update as to how things are progressing at TERRC.
The Caloosahatchee & Compass Island looks to have been completely scrapped now, as there is no visable sign of them from the road bridge. Also one of the WD barges (the one that was moored next to the quayside) looks to have been scrapped.
The Clemenceau's scrapping is progressing well, a start has been made on the rear of the ship. About half of the back end has been removed either side of the centre line of the carrier. With the internal floors with daylight visable lighting up the internals.
It won't be long before the major demolition externally of the Canisteo will begin, as a fair bit of cutting into sections has already been undertaken.
The Canopus still looks fully intact, wether they are waiting to finish of the Clemenceau before demolition starts on the Canopus.
Whilst looking on the Hartlepool Council website I came across the Planning applications page for Able UK/ TERRC which includes plans, comments, responses etc

http://edrms.hartlepool.gov.uk/PAP/showimage.asp?j=H/2007/0543&index=92356 This plan shows the extension of the basin to dig out and expand the old internal dry dock.
I will try to get more shots from the bridge of the progress in the coming couple of weeks when I get the chance.
