Arnish

It was good to see the extensive coverage of the shipping and export of the towers from Arnish*.

The facility is back in use, and has delivered on time on a contract that the previous operators weren't able to complete.

I understand that the ship was loaded 24 hours ahead of schedule and left on Saturday morning taking the towers off to Holland.

Hopefully on the back of this successful contract the 50+ jobs will be retained and new contracts can be attracted.

* Irony. I didn't see a single piece of news about this anywhere.

Perhaps the Arnish operators should blow their own trumpet just a wee bit louder?

The ship berthed at Arnish at 1800hrs on Thu Jun 7 and loaded 6 Tower sections into the hold with a further 6 on deck. After seafastening etc she sailed at 2200 hrs on Fri Jun 8 for Antwerp. They had 48 hrs for the job and did it in 28. Lest there be too much blowing of trumpets Weldex of Inverness were seriously involved in this outstanding achievement.
