HOEGH TARGET inwards from Antwerp for TCT No1 24/08/2015.
Apparently she is currently the word's largest car carrier. See http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/nor ... ow-9924131

Blimey! That's some catch!
Must be the biggest and most valuable haul ever landed at the North Shields Fish Quay.
Is the Chronicle absolutely sure the HOEGH TARGET isn't a trawler????!!!!

The video in the article is actually quite interesting once you get it to run!

And the jaw-dropping sight of it being tugged on the Tyne made even landmarks such as Tynemouth Priory and the 23-ft Collingwood Mounment look small by comparison.

Not only that but she got "tugged" on the Tyne as well.

Opps nearly missed one..........The Collingwood Mounment (spelling dear!) is only 23 feet tall.
