Morning Visit to the River Clyde

Early morning start as I head down to Cloch Lighthouse to get some photos of the 'AMT Trader' arriving.

She is going to Ferguson's Shipyard to get a jig fitted before continuing to Govan to take section LB03 of the aircraft carrier 'Prince of Wales' to Rosyth.

The photos show some other shipping and track her progress upriver.

AMT Trader - Barge

The barge 'AMT Trader' arrived at Greenock this morning towed by Italian tug 'Carlo Magno'.

The local Svitzer tugs took over and towed her up to Fergusons Shipbuilders in Port Glasgow for some modification work.

When the work is completed she will be towed to  the BAY Systems shipyard where a section of the aircraft carrier will be loaded on, then transported to Rosyth where the assembly work is in progress.
