    The graving dock at Canada Dock is really for repairing ships, not destroying them. The city/Peel should use the docks complex more forcefully. Why aren't ships being repaired? The ports needs to look at what is being shifted and aim to gain that business. Not all is containers.

    We don't need the ugly scrap piles and ship breaking - it is not a good image for the port. It is on the image of desperation. The government should be pushing to be opening up some steel plants to melt all this metal down in the UK - like Sheffield or Wales.

    becomes a Venice without canals, just another city, no
    longer of special interest to anyone, least of all the
    tourist. Would we visit a modernised Venice of filled in
    canals to view its modern museum describing
    how it once was?

    The scrap goes to Spain and Taiwan. Is this imported scrap re-exported immediately?

    Bet it would be pretty if it were your scrap. I don't like the business, but like Chris says jobs is jobs. It's a difficult one.

    Well if it were my scrap, I'd lie naked and make love to it. Proably worth a fortune.

    Tervik inward bound for Eastham

    Tanker Sea Powet inward bound to the Gladstone while HSC Mexico,a container ship passes outward bound, I did a double take on this, as I had seen the tanker passing the lighthouse as the missus and I walked along the prom, then when I looked again she appeared to have containers on her deck.

    Mystery solved as HSC Mexico turns in the Mersey
