'Yeoman Bank' - Greenock For Repairs

 
The 'Yeoman Bank' was unable to dock at Glensanda due to a problem with her bow thrusters.

As there were no tugs available in the area she was dispatched to Greenock for repairs to be carried out at the Inchgreen repair quay.

She arrived early this evening and was berthed with the assistance of Svitzer tugs - 'Ayton Cross' and 'Svitzer Milford'.

MV Finlaggan - Refit Time


 The 'MV Finlaggan' arrived at Greenock today and proceeded to the Garvel dry dock for her annual maintenance visit.

The sun shone brightly, and although still a bit of chill in the wind it was pleasantly warm at times.

I was there quite early as she stood off for some time waiting on the tide to accommodate her entry to the dock.

Quite a few enthusiasts turned up to photograph the event.
