WARMIA and FAIRPLAY-30

[Keelman]

Four local tugs assisted FAIRPLAY-30 with the departure of WARMIA from the TBT today. Tug and bulker are bound for Gdansk
WARMIA had arrived at the TBT on October 26th from Riga. Fairplay-30 arrived this morning from Wilhelmshaven

WARMIA has a poorly sick engine that's why she is going home to see the engine doctor

Broken Crankshaft?

Yes Graham I guessed that her gubbins that normally clank, whir, buzz and thump were having an off day
While looking upriver from the custom house I watched the pilot cutter and a couple of tugs closing up to her so trundled off to the groyne. I was scratching my head, so to speak, after about an hour wondering why she hadn't appeared. It was almost two hours later when all was revealed and the ensemble came in sight.
I was surprised to see the damage that the recent storm has done to the groyne, stones are missing and some of the tarmac surface has been torn up
