MV Finnarrow Leaves Inchgreen Dry Dock

Previously covered in an earlier post, MV Finnarrow has now completed her repair work and this evening she exited the Inchgreen dry dock.

I understand she was originally to head straight out to sea and go to Belgium.

Instead she berthed at the repair quay, but I would expect she will depart in the next day or two.

Around and About Inverclyde

A fair bit of domestic chores today including shopping.

Surprisingly I managed to get quite a few images - and a variety too.

Finnarrow and MV Clansman in Greenock

The Finnlines ferry 'Finnarrow' currently in the Clyde for repairs slipped in to the Inchgreen dry dock very early this morning.

A few images now that repairs have started.

Also a few of the 'Clansman' as she completes her refit work before returning to service.

Busy James Watt Dock

With glorious sunshine I made a trip to Greenock.

The 'Vos Shine' was returning from her tasks in Loch Ewe and with her bright red colours she looked great as she entered James Watt Dock.

I had expected her to go to the Great Harbour as she is on a long term lease to Serco, so not sure why she came to JWD.

Pilot cutter 'Toward' collected the pilot from 'Vos Shine' to take him to the next job.

Also a shot of 'Finnarrow' - awaiting entry Inchgreen dry dock for repairs.

Finnarrow - Greenock For Repairs

The ferry 'Finnarrow' arrived at Greenock early this morning having been towed up from Holyhead by the tug 'Hellas'.

She suffered damage while entering the harbour at Holyhead a few days ago - my understanding is that her stabilizers were not retracted before she berthed and this caused damage that allowed water ingress.

She will be going in to Inchgreen dry dock for repair next week.
