Perhaps Ill go for a snoop nearer to 1.30 - 2pm and see whats going on .

Big things made from steel. Isn't there a place by the river in Tranmere that can do stuff like that ?

She is now anchored of Point Lynas in Anglesey
and is still showing an estimated time of arrival of
08:00 Monday. That probably means at the Bar.

I'll keep a check on her position on ShipsAIS
as she progresses. Unfortunately the fog might
impede the viewing and possibly the timings.

I guess they are still aiming to move her onto
Liverpool2 between 13:00 and 15:00 but who knows?

I'm curious why shipsAIS hasn't got the historic tracking between Shanghai and the Canaries?

Still at Lynas and taking a pilot.
Due at Bar/Q1 13:30 to enter channel.
Hopefully fog should be clearing by then.

Thanks Wally. Useful up to the mo info. Imagine its been quite a bit of planning to abandon final docking unless the fog remains pretty bad.

you can see her current position.

From AIS it looks as if she is now alongside Liverpool2 but the fog has become more dense in the last half hour so I cannot see her.

Fog worse, cannot see ship but
from AIS there are four tugs pushing
her against the L2 river wall so they
will be in process of mooring her.

We went down to have a look. When she first appeared in the far far distance, the thick fog was coming and going around her and all you could spot was like vague glimpses of what could have been a huge spooky skeleton ghost tall ship with many masts and cross rigging . As she got nearer and stayed in view, by the time she reached level with Perch Rock the mist seemed to clear a little, albeit only for 10-15 mins or so, and with bins, you could get a decent view of the lined up cranes and tugs
Flipping freezing there , so didnt hang around to watch any further manoevering - wasnt worth it with the mist thickening again. Certainly a sight you dont see every day, and the vessel definitely looks like it defies the laws of balance .

Hopefully by tomorrow afternoon the
fog will have cleared and will reveal
the cranes for all to see.
