CARDIFF - Weds 8th February 2012

The tanker Bro Distributor arrived from Milford Haven with a cargo of oil products on 6th, she returned there on 7th.  Container ship Judith Borchard arrived from Liverpool on 6th and sailed the same day for Leixoes.
The coaster Union Diamond also arrived on 6th - from Halmstad, she sailed in ballast on 8th bound for Chatham.  Blue Lion arrived from Avonmouth on 7th, she berthed at the West End in the Queen Alexandra Dock loading wood pulp to take to Vasteras (Sweden).  No photo, she arrived and sailed under cover of darkness.  Few cargo ships use the West End berth in fact, the last one was 8 months ago - her sister ship Blue Lotus
