Yeoman Bank - Bulk Carrier on the Clyde

The bulk carrier 'Yeoman Bank' left Glasgow today bound for the Oban area.

I dodged the showers as best I could as they were both wintry and heavy.

The tug is the 'Strathglass' and she is on loan in the Clyde area for a few weeks.

We won't get too many opportunities to see her this far upriver so pleased to get a few images of her at work.

'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'.

Yeoman Bank - Bulk Carrier

The bulk carrier 'Yeoman Bank' came down from Glasgow today and here are a few shots as she passed Port Glasgow.

I was very fortunate to catch her before the weather closed in again and back to heavy rain and strong winds.

She is bound for Garrucha in Spain.

Ayton Cross and Svitzer Milford were the tugs escorting her on her passage downriver.
