Hi

Well She has arrived yesterday at 17 00 hours but will be intresting to see how she manages to get out!! thats the longest ship ever to visit drogheda port! 128 m! Tough work for the pilots although if she has 2 engines and bow thrusters there should be a problem! Very very tight squeeze. What was the vessel you came in on??

Drogheda port can accomadate ships up to 120 M only. We have the arrival of

the russian ship Rusich 1 at anchor which is 128 m! Any idea how this can be done?

The swinging basin in drogheda port is for 120 m vessels only so am

guessing she will manovure into the berth from sea. You think it can be done

this way looking at the angles the river is at??

http://www.droghedaport.ie/index_home.html go to "about us" and then "berth locations"
