Greenock - On the Clyde

It's been a hectic day for sure, but managed down to catch a bit of movement on the river this evening.

Caribbean Princess departing a little late due to a passenger delay.

Then the Saimaagracht arrived to take her berth at the Greenock Ocean Terminal.

RRS James Cook

 Well as I was up and about I waited on the 'James Cook' to pass on her way up to Glasgow.

She is a Royal Research Vessel built in 2006.

Owned by the 'Natural Environmental Research Council' she undertakes scientific surveys worldwide.

Caribbean Princess - Cruise Ship

I'm either slightly insane, very keen, or dedicated.

Up before sunrise this morning and down to a cold Esplanade in Greenock to get a few images of the Caribbean Princess as she arrived for her first visit to the Clyde.

Met up with Thomas - one of my friends from the ShipAIS forum so at least I had some company.

She arrived from Dublin and should depart for Southampton at about 17:00 tonight.
