CARDIFF - Sun 8th January 2012

The coaster Hav Marlin arrived from Izmir on 5th  and sailed for Stralsund on 7th (arrived 2 hours earlier than expected so I missed the opportunity to get a photo) UPDATE: photo now added at foot of the page.
Regular container ship Judith Borchard arrived from Leixoes on 6th she also sailed on the 7th , for Liverpool.
2 arrivals on the 7th - the tug Trueman from Fawley - I don't know why she's here, I don't think she brought a tow with her? there's nothing at Cardiff to be towed away. And the dredger UKD Orca came in from sea for repair. (Update - The tug Trueman is owed by SMS Towage Ltd who have set up a company - SMS Towage (Bristol Channel) Ltd.  They're advertising in the local press for skippers, chief engineers and deck crew.  Photo added [below] on 15/03/2012)
