Shipping News and information / Grimsby River Terminal

« on: July 21, 2013, 04:28:44 PM »

The first ship has just berthed at the new Grimsby River Terminal! UECC Autorunner in lock gates etc as normal, but saw Ems Highway on AIS Shipfinder.co as well when both eegular berths would be filled with Autorunner and existing Sea Cruiser 1. Suddenly Ems started going asternships, therefore obviously testing berthing!

Pics/video to follow (only just happened - not uploaded yet).

A plane continues to encircle the area, I assume taking photos.

Very sad & an opportunity to acknowledge the group via innovations - in my case some detail modifications to the #10152 Lego Maersk model.

Norcape's a shame - used to be a regular site on the Humber.

Trip reports / Felixstowe + PS-Class

« on: April 23, 2011, 08:47:42 AM »

Hi everyone.

For some years now I have wanted to try Felixstowe for a holiday & obviously to include the port as a major part of this. I visited Harwich a few years ago & while this offers a very good view view of PFL I heard that viewing from the Suffolk side gives closer views.

I have just found the schedules by ship-name on the Maersk site & see NO PS-Class vessel visiting Felix on the week I'm there. One came on 16th April, one's due in today, & another 7th May. How ******* annoying.

Anyone got any views on this? Is it just luck of the draw due to having to book things in advance ahead of knowing what the sailing schedule will be?
