The large multi-purpose offshore vessel (MPOV) in the Wear channel off Greenwells Quay. The orange and blue colour scheme certainly made it a colourful visitor to Sunderland! PIP #1: Detailing of the ship's name on the helicopter deck. PIP #2: The Southern Ocean passing Greenwells Quay.

An overnight arrival, the cable laying ship Ndeavor spent only a few hours in Sunderland before departing again. What is not so obvious from this angle is that this was an amazingly wide ship for the length of the vessel (100 x 30 metres). By comparison, a standard small cargo ship such as the Lady Dawn has a length/width of 100 x 13 metres.

The diving support vessel Boka Atlantis arriving into Sunderland at the end of a busy couple of hours. A sister ship to the regular visitor Boka Polaris, this is the first visit in recent months.

The Boka Polaris passing Roker lighthouse and moving into the channel of the River Wear. A nice detail is the crew member, possibly the pilot, silhouetted in the wheelhouse of the ship.

Will it fit? The Boka da Vinci turning by Greenwells Quay prior to berthing at the Corporation Quay.
