Reviews
Despite the Baltic Sea enjoying a relatively mild winter thusfar, here we see m/v "Konstantin" discharging bagged fertilisers in the snow-covered port of Västerås.
Having loaded in the Russian Baltic, the vessel discharged at two different Swedish ports for our usual & semi-exclusive fertiliser Charterers.
Our thanks to Göran Lönn at Mälaragent AB in Västerås for the photos and the excellent service whilst the vessel was in port.
Loading presently at EBS Botlek for Spain then onward to Egypt.
m/v "Kamelia", loading baled waste for Sweden at the UK port of Blyth.
Interesting footnote; the Swedish government offer generous subsidies to national power stations to recycle what most of us would consider household waste into renewable energy. A noble incentive.
Many thanks and 2019 copyright to Glenn Watson from GP Shipping Billingham for the photos.
Something a bit different job for us here at H.C. - m/v "Anna" loading an umbilical cable in reel in the UK port of Hartlepool. The vessel will discharge the cradle-housed cargo in the Nigerian port of Port Harcourt.
Thanks to Daniel Heritage at GP Shipping Billingham for the great pictures.
m/v "Karen" loading baled waste in the UK North Eastern port of Blyth, bound for the Baltic Sea.
Our thanks to Steven Caddy at GP Shipping Limited in Billingham for the photos.

What's that you say? Haven't seen a Dutch vessel loading baled waste in the UK recently?

COB Wk 13 2018: Steady. Little by means of earnest trading ahead of the Easter holidays lead to an unusally quiet month/quarter end. More likely down to Charterers and Owners alike getting their holidays covered by either booking ahead, or utilising existing contract bookings, the four days trading in Europe struggled to develop any real head of steam. Optimism remains for Q2, but it won't take a substantial slowdown in cargo output to chip away at positivity.
