Around the 'Clyde' today


 A few images from my sojourn around the Greenock docks today.

Windy and wet at times - but made the best of things.

280 Tonne Cable Reel Move


The 280 Tonne cable reel constructed at Inchgreen Quay was moved today on to a barge for onward transportation.

This was a lengthy process and now that it is installed on the barge - will be towed by the tug 'Viking' later in the week to it's destination.
