Hello Mersey Shipping, An interesting ship. Pacific Basin written on her side. Is she then a long way from home? She looks empty of any cargo. Not a lot of movement in the River, had we just had Low Water? I seem to remember being told (a long time ago) there is about 30 mins lull between when tides start to change which has a special name, the name of which I can't recall? It was good to see the tug pull her stern around. Did the tug at her bow end actually do anything, or was she there just in case? The Challenger passed on her way out to sea. Was she working on the Wind Turbines? Sorry for all the questions. Great video as always. All the best. Spoolbox
Thanks. Yeah Challenger was on her way to the windfarm. I think your thinking of Ebb tide when it's transitioning between coming in and out. Sometimes you have a tug just standing by, not to sure of the reasoning behind it. 👍
@@merseyshipping4494 Hello again Mersey Shipping, Thank you for your reply. It has just come back to me. The time when one tide finishes and before the next movement of water starts is called "Slack Water". When the Mersey Ferry's used to be more regular, one used to see a Ferry approach the stage, at the peak of the high/low water tide, but the slack water had only been minutes and the tide had started to turn, It was fun then seeing the ferry having to to a 180% turn to enable to moor safely. Nature is amazing.
Does anyone who what’s on board? Fine vlog
Thanks. Sorry I'm not sure what the cargo is. Always hard to find that out.
