    CHC?
    I think you mean Port of Cork. CHC are a helicopter company.
    The Harbour Commissioners are gone since the 90s.
    Its a nice deep berth too, with plenty of room to swing. 9m at the jetty, 11m in the channel. Currents can be challenging though.

    I think it works on fitting wind turbines or research into the areas they can be built in.

    Such a shocking decision not allowing a LNG terminal to be built in the country.

    It's OK, nobody here uses LNG for anything.....

    Apart from the Gas fired power stations and every single house that converted to piped gas heating over the years.....

    Spotted a Belgian flagged trawler coming out of Howth today. I know they've been using Dun Laoghaire to off load before

    I wouldn't be too concerned, the Norwegians have this thing parked outside Murmansk on a permanent basis...

    Looks like Dutch navy landing ship Rotterdam heading out of Dublin Port at the minute... followed by smaller L9527 assault ship.

    Have been watching this, it's sitting off Dun Laoghaire at the minute, a second landing craft was present for a time.

    Just watching Anna G (containership) at Dublin anchorage with 2 tugs and a pilot in attendance, engine problems perhaps? Four other ships at anchorage and 19 in Dublin port (excluding tugs/pilots), that's as busy as I've seen it in recent times.

    Just looked at the recent tracking, Anna G was brought down from Warrenpoint by Mourneventure. Seems to be heading into Dun Laoghaire now where there's a fishing vessel being refueled on the Carlisle Pier.

    Dublin port appears to have ceased operations temporarily, there's a number of ships moving around the Irish Sea just off Dublin.

    I was amazed to see the WB Yeats sailed from Dublin to Cherbourg overnight on Monday, must've been some crossing.

    Even more amazing was that Ulysses sailed from Dublin to Holyhead at midnight on the 8th, some 4 hours later than scheduled to sail. I am very glad I was not on it, they have just succeeded in docking at Holyhead on the 4th attempt, they eventually managed to get alongside and moored at about 23:45 on the 8th, so effectively an almost 24 hour crossing, so anyone that arrived in Dublin port on time for the planned departure has endured close on 28 hours of hell, as they spent most of today wandering around off Holyhead, along with Stena Explorer, that has just docked with the assistance of 2 tugs, having also tried several times to get in and failed. Stena Estrid is at present holding for a berth, and that's going to be a number of hours, and Epsilon was due to sail from Dublin at about 18:00, as the delayed 14:10 sailing, and eventually departed Dublin around Midnight. The winds at Holyhead have been NW around 40 Kts for most of the day, and are only starting to moderate slightly in the last hour or so.

    Shore, if it was easy, everybody would be doin it.😁

    Anyone know what cruiseship is anchored in Dublin bay this lunchtime?

    Edit: it's the Emerald Princess apparently.

    En route from Fort Lauderdale to Southampton.

    It's an impressive beast, will stick up a pic when I get closer

    A lot of them visiting Dun Laoghaire (well, anchoring in Dublin bay with guests transferring into Dun Laoghaire then on to the city centre etc. And some remain to soak up the many delights of Dun Laoghaire.)

    https://afloat.ie/port-news/cruise-liners/item/54232-dun-laoghaire-harbour-publishes-2022-cruise-ship-schedule

    Greg Mortimer was in the harbour yesterday and appears to have remained overnight, unique looking passenger vessel.
