Star Sea Cosmos


Star Sea Cosmos

This Bulker had been lying in the Tyne Anchorage over Christmas having carried a cargo of woodchips from Vancouver, Canada. Woodchips are being used as bio fuel at Drax Power Station in Yorkshire.

So here she is inbound to the Port of Tyne, North East England on a misty, cold Winters day, 31st December 2010. Photographed from Western Quay, North Shields.

Tugs in attendance were HT Blade and Phoenix Cross which had come up from the Tees for the job, the other Tyne Tugs being on their way to a job at Blyth.
