Solo Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Thinking about it, it's all freight, just some walks on the rest is driven onboard. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Gareth Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Armorique shortly due to arrive at Rosslare for the first time. I will be interested to see which way round she berths. General impression in recent years is that berthing stern-in is important to BF skippers at both Cork and St Malo (due to wanting a better view upon departure - in the case of Cork, “around the corner”, and in the case of St Malo, of small craft coming down the Rance). But she’ll have to berth bow-in at one of these ports (unless she operates as a stern loader for this service), and how she berths at Rosslare will provide a clue. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Gareth Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 We have the answer - bow in at Rosslare and Cork, stern in at Roscoff and St Malo. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Gareth Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 I see Armorique is bunkering in Rosslare. By a vessel rather unfortunately named “Keewhit”! Link to post Share on other sites

jonno Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 @ccs147 is that one of the Gotland ships heading too or is she anchored in the bay? Link to post Share on other sites

It’s Drotten anchored in the bay Jonno. She came in to load after Armorique, Stena Estrid and Isle of Innishmore sailed early evening. (Specifically, she came into the berth that was occupied by Estrid. And, in fact (just checked), she’s still there). 2 Link to post Share on other sites

It’s cream first then jam on top if you make a sandwich, you apply the butter first to the bread, then put the filling on top. You don’t put the filling on first, then apply the butter? obviously I’m Devonshire... 😁 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Jam then cream on top. cream isn’t the butter. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
