Hi Jim,

She is the "Caroline" class light crusier HMS CAROLINE. I have uploaded a photo taken on 1st February 2005, not a good one but it was very overcast at the time.

I think these are the 2 new one's for the Medway to service the new gas terminal. Think they were built by Damen in Vietnam.

Hi Wayne2,
Besides MAERSK DUNKERQUE that is now in service from Dover, I thought the other two were MAERSK DOVER & MAERSK DELFT.

If your planning to see the SILJA OPERA in London best check her location first. As Phil says, the PLA website states Tower Bridge lower tier whereas Ships Monthly says she is due at Greenwich Tier arriving at 0700 on the 9th and sailing at 1800.
