Blue Lotus had arrived on 20th from Waterford with a (part?) cargo of packaged timber (judging by the slings suspended from the crane and the timber on the wharf). The west berth is not used very often - I've only seen 2 ships use it in the past 2 years. She was due to sail for Vasteras (Sweden) at 1930 on 22nd, 2000 arrived and no signs of any activity and getting dark, so I took this photo, minutes later and it started to rain heavily and Blue Lotus disappeared into the mist and gloom - she eventually sailed in the early hours of the 25th.
In the background can be seen the sand dredger Welsh Piper.
UPDATE - a better picture below, taken on May 31st 2012, when she was passing Lavernock Point on passage from Newport to El Ferrol
