Virtully impossible to view ships in Avonmouth or Portbury as everything is fenced off and no outside viewing areas. Best place for observing ships entering or departing is Battery Point Portishead,where all ships pass quite close.

You could try Camping D Krabbeplatt nl which is just past Rozenberg if you are interested in Rotterdam. I have booked an apart van for June 21st at cost of 190 euros for one week. They do other accomodations but they were booked for the week we wanted. You can find full details on there web site.The apart accomodation looks basic but it has cooker fridge shower and a bar near by which is all myself and friend need for watching ships.I stayed there over 15 years ago with family and there is plenty going on for a good family holiday. It is about a 15 minute drive out to the Maasvlakte Best Wishes John D

This is the ex Wilberforce going on a new charter in Africa known as a bad sea going ship that can only make around 7 knots with the tide behind it so is probably awaiting a good weather window!! John D

Shipping News and information / Re: Three vessel collision in English Channel
« on: January 11, 2014, 07:16:17 PM »
Found the following on the Mail news page.. An investigation was under way tonight after a 21,000-tonne bulk carrier was in collision with an unidentified vessel in the English Channel, coastguards said.
The captain of the Panamanian-registered carrier, called the Southern Star, contacted Dover Coastguard to report he had been in collision with another ship.
The Southern Star, with 23 people on board, was not thought to be taking on water but was drifting 20 miles north of Dunkirk, where the collision happened.
A Dover Coastguard spokesman said: "The other vessel involved appears to be steaming from the scene. It is possible the captain of the ship is not aware of the collision but that is very unlikely." John D
A salvage tug operated jointly with coastguards in France was being sent from Deal in Kent to the Southern Star. Meanwhile Dover Coastguard was hoping to make contact with the unidentified ship as it passed along the Dover Straits.
It is not thought anyone was injured in the incident.

Only eighteen months ago an order for Royal Fleet Auxilary Replenishment ships was given to Korea just shows how inept our country is run.
