Hey
This picture is really a good picture, because you can see the is real ships coming and going, with different cargo to the whole world, and it´s even a good color and angel on it and the background.
Thankyou for that.
regards Benny

Many thanks Benny.
Very little wind today but not much light either. The other vessel is the Bounder.
Regards, Alan.

Yes Alan,

This is a beautiful shot ,very colourful and plenty of activity on the quayside,

Cheers, Fred.

Cheers Fred,
Bounder has also left, on her way to Avonmouth.
Alan.

The person who designed the hatch covers on the Bounder obviously does not have to clean them

Hi Alan i was wondering what type of agragate thay shipped out is it road stone or sand.
Regards Bobby.

Various grades of stone. I think we have enough building sand of our own in Lough Neagh. Although in the early 90s we had sand brought in from the Morecambe Bay area. I think this dredger brought in several loads -

Hello Alan, thanks for another marvellous photo,and the interesting comments that follow,
here's somo info from Port of Bristol (Avonmouth) site re the stoneAggregates
Various grades of aggregate/pumice are handled for a number of customers, including Conexpo, which imports c100,000 tonnes per year from Ireland and Tarmac Topblock, which discharges shipments of pumice.
Do you not see any of the lorries dropping the stones? It wouldn't be the clinker ash from Kilroot PS ?
Regards Kenny.
