    That "fine old ship" is the brand new reefer, Colin!

    Howard: I would say there is one reefer every two or three days on average. Most of them are regulars and I only photograph them if there is one that I have not seen before. These are the last two which I photographed:

    "Triton Reefer" of NYKCool on 7th August. Of interest because of the fog shrouding the top of the cliffs. A frequent occurrence with the port remaining completely clear. Also worth noting the "DFDS Transport" truck on the foc'sle of the Pride of Canterbury. Presumably in future DFDS trucks will all travel with DFDS Norfolkline!





    "Hawk Bay" of Seatrade on 31st July. Entering via the Eastern Entrance to proceed up the Bay. You can see one of our captains, Adrian Plowes, on the bridge wing waiting to take the Maersk Dover (now Dover Seaways) out. This is the usual arrangement to cause minimum disruption to the ferries. The cargoship enters between ferry arrivals and departures and waits in the bay for the next gap, then goes astern with tug assistance to berth on the DCT.
