Timelapse of a busy afternoon in the Port of Sunderland with the Torm Adventurer departing for Skagen in Denmark. In between the arrival of the tugs, the small cargo ship 'H&S Fairness' can be seen leaving the Hudson Dock for Rotterdam.

The chemical tanker 'Stolt Redshank' berthed at Greenwells Quay. It arrived the previous evening, being the first ship into the Port of Sunderland following the incident with the sea locks at the entrance to the Hudson Dock.

The tanker 'Aland' moored at Greenwells Quay. Having arrived the previous night, it would depart just under an hour before the 'Meri' arrived to pick up the two Liebherr cranes from the same spot. The fact that the ship departed so stern heavy seemed a little odd to me, but presumably it represents no stability issues?

The Thun Blyth refuelling the offshore supply vessel 'Boka da Vinci' at Greenwells Quay. The NaabsaMAX slogan on the side of the Thun Blyth refers to the unique design of the ship - standing for 'Not always afloat, but safely aground'. This means the ship can visit tidal harbours, and remain in port even at low tide by safely resting on seabed. The bulk carrier 'KM Weipa', which would arrive later into Sunderland, can be seen in the background.

The Atlantis Araceli arriving into Sunderland.

The Norwegian flagged Nordic Sund passing Roker lighthouse on the way to berthing in the Hudson Dock. Formerly known as the Clipper Sund, the ship is a small chemical tanker, with the previous port of call being Rouen in France.

With over 150 vessels in their fleet, Stolt-Nielsen is one of the largest operators of chemical tankers in the world. Only dropping in for a short visit, the Stolt Cormorant arrived early into Sunderland from Immingham, before departing for Great Yarmouth later that evening.

The chemical tanker Silver Kenna departing Sunderland for Great Yarmouth. Built in 2011, the ship is currently owned by the Danish shipping line MH Simonsen.

The chemical tanker 'Antares' arriving into Sunderland at dawn. PIP #1: The ship turning off Greenwells Quay.

The chemical tanker 'Mozart' departing from Corporation Quay. Having arrived in the morning, it returned back to Great Yarmouth in Norfolk in the late afternoon. I am not sure how Mozart would have felt about his name being used for a rather mundane chemical ship.

The Antares departing the Port of Sunderland on a damp day after refuelling one of the ships berthed at the Corporation Quay.
