A view from slightly further upriver this afternoon.

So, has this berth just been re-activated, or have I just been unlucky in not seeing any tankers there during my many previous visits to Jarrow Slake?

The Ocean Berth is used from time to time Ron, you've just been unlucky.

Well, there you are! I'd just never made the connection before and I guess I have been very unlucky not seeing any vessel there until the NORDIC SIRA this week.

Hi Ron

I agree with you as we do seem to have an increase of small tankers into the Tyne than say six months ago
