The port has been very quiet for the past couple of weeks, shipping in general seems to be going through a quiet spell - around the middle of July, ships were departing the channel ports and going straight to anchor off Minehead to await orders. At one time there were 6 or 7 ships anchored there and 1 or 2 of them had been there for a couple of weeks.
Rachel Borchard arrived from Leixoes on 4th and sailed for Liverpool on 5th.
Taranto (missed this one) arrived on 6th and guess that she discharged a cargo as she sailed for Avonmouth on 10th.
Arriving today: Bro Designer from Milford Haven with a cargo of oil products.
Charlotte Borchard, container ship on her regular run, inbound from Leixoes - sails for Liverpool on 12th.

Almost as soon as Uphusen had cleared the entrance channel, the Damen Shipyard built UK Border Agency/Customs cutter HMC Seeker came in. Seeker patrols the South Western approaches to the UK and tends to use Swansea for refuelling/re storing but occasionally visits Cardiff for the same.
