CARDIFF - Sat June 2nd 2012

On May 29th the Maltese flagged oil/chemical tanker Nosi arrived from Santander.  She sailed for Ellesmere Port the same day - I missed her arrival and departure, so no picture.  On 31st the container ship Sara Borchard arrived from Leixoes and sailed on the next day bound for Liverpool.
