I think we should rename this thread "Bantry Bay - What's Out there"

Just for a balanced look, Bantry Bay is devoid of ships this morning.

I noticed that yesterday morning. Earlier in the morning there was an even larger bulker off the Mayo/Galway coast southbound to the mid east. Can't remember the name but it suggested an Oriental title even though it was of Greek registry. I tried several times during the day to catch its icon but to no avail. I think its draft was 18 meters.
Meanwhile the Nordmark is heading for Whitegate as I type.

...it is the Zhong May, not of Greek registry but Liberian. Now off the west coast of Portugal as I type.

Yesterdays (Sunday) New York Times has a very interesting article in the Automobiles section titled "Around the World With 5,500 Cars" if anybody is interested. The article tells what is involved portside and onboard with a typical journey of a car carrier, in this case the Andromeda Leader operated by NYK Lines a large Japanese ship line.
