City of Chichester
Just caught her on her way out lunchtime 4th March 2006 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. |

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. Her history
is quit interesting as well...I knew her from my life in the 80s |

February 2006 to moor at POP1 Pembroke Dock VORONEZH  Motor ships of the type DON or AKSAY (project PR-205) are the big dry cargo "river-sea" ships, which have a covered hold, with double boards and double bottom, with machine compartment and superstructure in the rear part, equipped with lifting wheel-house, with the single propeller shaft.
