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

It just seems very tempermental. It is a great site to use when it works but when it dos'nt

work it can be a nusiance but i am privalged to use such a site! Do you know if you right

click on a certain vessel you can actually plan the trip ahead planning the route and gives

you the exact time of arrival to its destination at the speed recorded. Its a great

advantage.

Hi

I beleive this is old news! This was brought up somtime ago on this website. From what i

remember was that the only ports that could cater for such vessels were in the far east

and the english channel was not deep enough for them to pass through. So would be pointless

I think in this current economic climate it won't happen
