Hmm,
On Marine Traffic the status is shown as Anchored/Moored.
Due at Swansea at 15:00 today; that's a couple of hundred miles in the next 9 hours.
Let's see!

Hi

My info was slightly wrong. I beleived she discharged her cargo of feed at drogheda port but we have 3 arklow ships dues this week so a little confusing. But if she is fully loaded
she will have to discharge some of her cargo to get afloat on hightide.
Separately, the 'Red Duchess' was three miles south of Carnsore Point, Co Wexford, when it lost a portion of its deck cargo of logs at around 1am.
The logs were washed overboard in stormy conditions and some have washed up on the south-east coast.
The vessel, which has a crew of six, was on its way from Portavogie, Scotland, to Youghal, Co Cork.
The Irish Coast Guard is investigating the incident.

Hi

I just called the captain of the arklow raider, they hope to be underway tomorow morning.

attempts failed this evening. The arklow fame has been diverted to greenore for discharging

Wilson hull is on route to drogheda port but for loading oats so she should be ok getting

in on ballast.

Hi

Was reading newsfile and they say the ship has been pushed further up on to baltray beach.

There is a tug in the vicinity now so waiting to see what happens.

I just noticed that Oakgarth has crossed from Liverpool but no AIS from Arklow Raider.
Keeping the proverbial head down, perhaps?
