Liverpool - 29 July 2013

Picture
Despite a clear bright start to the day it has now clouded over and we have just had heavy rain and a thunderstorm.

Driving in along the docks this morning I saw one new ship this being the General Cargo Ship Saga Future (IMO 9613836, GT 38000, 2012).

From the carpark (I am parked on level 13) I also saw a warship departing the docks which AIS confirmed as HMS Mersey.

I took the above picture on my way into the office, five vessels can be seen.
 
Moored at the pilot headquarters is Pilot Vessel Kittiwake and Afon Goch (IMO 9150781), a twin screw, shallow draft, seagoing multitug operated by Holyhead Towing.

Passing heading North is the Mersey ferry Royal Iris operated by Mersey Travel which was built in 1960.

In the distance can be seen Stena Mersey (IMO 9329851, GT 27700, 2005) which had recently arrived from Belfast and just visible in the distance on the right is Pilot vesel Skua which is one of the two new Interceptor 48 pilot boats now working the river and estuary.

I am in Liverpool for the rest of the day, hopefully a few new ships will make an appearance.

    My interest in ships and the sea started back in 2006 when I worked for a couple of years  on the banks of the River Mersey. I have since been on a couple of cruises around the Med and in the Far East and have started to take more interest in researching and photographing some of the ships and other vessels seen on my travels.
