I've been away for ten days, so a bit of catching up to do, luckily it's been quiet while I've been away so I haven't missed many 'new' ships.
on 3rd June
Arion arrived from Bilboa with containers, she sailed for Antwerp on 5th. Mentioning containers, Cardiff appears to have been dropped off the Borchard Lines regular container service, between the west coast UK to Spain/Mediterranean, the last time one of their ships called was back in February. The containers they used to drop/collect at Cardiff are now being taken to Dublin and handled by the feeder service - more info below.
On 5th June the tanker
Bro Deliverer came in from Milford Haven with oil products for the Valero Terminal, she returned to MH on 6th. The paddle steamer
Waverley arrived at Penarth at the start of 3 week period of excursions on the Bristol Channel, on this occasion she sailed for Minehead.
On the 6th the sail training vessel
Stavros S Niarchos came in from Plymouth, she berthed on Britannia Quay and sailed on 9th bound for Brixham.
On 8th
Coronel arrived 'light' from Sharpness. She has taken over the feeder container service between Cardiff and Warrenpoint and has now added a call at Dublin. She has taken over from
Huelin Endeavour who has been carrying out the service for about nine months. (as these ships arrive and depart about 3 or 4 times a week I don't record the movements, likewise movements of the sand dredgers
Arco Dart and
Welsh Piper)
On 10th, (as she only makes occasional calls to Cardiff), the sand dredger
City Of Cardiff came in from Swansea, she discharged at Hansons Wharf and went back to sea a couple of hours later.
On 11th
Trenland arrived from Warrenpoint she discharged at H Shed and sailed for Avonmouth the next day.
On 12th, two tanker arrivals with oil products from Milford Haven
Bro Distributor discharged at the Valero Terminal amd
Sichem Hong Kong at the Number 1 Oil Terminal. Both returned to Milford Haven
15th saw the arrival of
AB Valencia with scrap metals from Liverpool. She discharged at Ryans Wharf and sailed for Sharpness on 16th.
A night time arrival and early departure meant that I missed
Thun Globe on the 18th. She had arrived from Milford Haven with oil products for the Valero Terminal and returned to MH later the same day.
UPDATE:
Thun Globe was back at Cardiff on 23rd - now added a photo, below.
Two arrivals on 20th,
Mittelplate from Nigg (Scotland?) she's loading at A shed and is due to sail for Porto Vesme on 22nd.
Holstentor arrived from New Ross and is loading steel products at the Number 1 Berth, she is due to sail for Greenore on 22nd.
