UKD Bluefin is a purpose-designed trailing suction hopper dredger with many advanced features. Special attention has been paid to hull form and dredge-gear layout to enable this vessel to dredge in open-sea conditions while maintaining efficiency. She is fitted with twin suction pipes and pumps, jet pumps and de-gassing gear; underwater overflow is via an adjustable weir and she has the ability to discharge via bottom doors or pump ashore. |

City of Chichester and City of Cardiff
Built in Appledore, Devon in 1997, these sister ships represent a total investment at the time of £19 million.
They replaced four ships which had previously worked off the South Coast and in the Bristol Channel and were designed to meet the particular constraints of small wharves and shallow draughts. Capable of two dredging trips in a typical day, the Cardiff and Chichester can load and discharge a full cargo of 2,300 tonnes of sand or gravel in under three hours. |

I found this lot on a private site......to dark for a picture here so I borrowed one. I see she sailed from Marchwood....so I had a browse and found this.....so what did she bring to visit..................
Marchwood Military Port
Marchwood Military Port (MMP) is situated on 289 acres of land on the western side of Southampton Water, opposite Southampton Docks. The port is operated by 17 Port and Maritime Regiment RLC whose role is to load and discharge service or civilian shipping in support of military administration, exercises and operations world wide. The site is the sole military port in U.K. and provides the training ground for Army port and maritime personnel. It is the home port for the Royal Fleet Auxiliary (RFA) Landing Ship Logistic (LSL) and army vessels run by the Royal Logistic Corps (RLC). In addition, HQ Solent Station and 17 Port and Maritime Regt Wksp REME are based there.
Scope Of Activity The port consists of three main jetties. The largest is 220m long and 33m wide and is capable of accepting vessels up to 16,000 tonnes. It has a sophisticated Ro/Ro facility capable of handling vessels with various ramp configurations, and the jetty also has two 35-tonne rail mounted cranes and railway access. The second jetty, built during World War II, is 190m long, has rail access and is capable of accepting vessels of up to 8k tonnes with limited Ro/Ro facilities. Finally there is a subsidiary jetty of 117m that is used to berth military landing craft and smaller vessels. Of major importance is the ports ammunition and explosives handling capability. The Directorate of Land Service Ammunition (DLSA) has granted the port a licence to handle ammunition/explosive on the main jetty. Typically the port will handle 100k tonnes of military material a year.

This strange pair arrived 26th January 2006
Lynher II and Kingston (Tug)
It would seem from my research that the ferry is on its way to Cornwall to be delivered to Torpoint Ferries.
The Torpoint Ferries are one of the main transport links between Devon (Plymouth) and Cornwall (Torpoint). they operate three chain driven ferries ( floating bridge) , the Plym , the Lynher II (on its way now) and the Tamar , which provide passengers with a 10 minute service from both sides of the river Tamar. The majority of the passengers are commuters travelling to and from work however these numbers swell during holiday periods with the addition of tourists visiting Cornwall. With the introduction of the new generation of ferries. "It was anticipated a ceremony would take place in May/June 2006 and it was hoped that a VIP would be able to attend to officiate. Members suggested Mount Edgcumbe as a possible venue for the reception and requested that the General Manager pursue this option." (Quoted from the Cornwall Council Minutes on the expected delivery of this the last of the new ferries).
Built on the Clyde by Ferguson Shipbuilders Port Glasgow, in 2005
Ship Type: Chain Ferry Capacity for 73 cars.
Ship's Role: Tamar Ferry
Owner History:
