'Cape Elise' - Damaged Bulk Carrier

The 'Cape Elise' was brought up from Hunterston on Thursday evening in preparation for her move to the Inchgreen Repair Quay facility today.

She suffered damage when struck by a huge wave in the Atlantic and received assistance from tugs to get her to Hunterston to discharge her cargo prior to coming to Greenock.

She is expected to be in for repair for about three weeks.

While waiting on her move I got a few shots of the SD Eva.

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.
