Race Against Tide

[@roconnor01]

Nicely done, Captain.

[@ThamesShips]

Great video with interesting and informative commentary 👍

[@ChrisWitts]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@Shipspotting_Vietnam]

Great captain! He made a left turn like driving a car!

[@ChrisWitts]

They make it look too easy, bet it's not though!

[@bazza945]

Love Google. The ship "Fluvius Otter" is named after the UK river "Otter". Fluvius is latin for a river or stream. A sister ship named "Fluvius Plym" is likewise named after the River Plym.

Hello Chris. Love your videos of the ships entering the port. Talk about a handbake turn! Is that an old Mersey ferry hiding in the corner? Possible video perhaps? Phil

[@ChrisWitts]

Thanks Phil, yes an old Mersey ferry that has been here for a long time. Looking in a sorry state.

Great Vid As All ways Nice To See Last Time I Was In Sharpness Was In The Late 80s When I Was On The Coaster Called The Tora

The only difference now is the security fence around the dock basin. Otherwise still the same.

There's a cement plant at Aberthaw, 60 miles down the river Severn. Nice video though

[@ChrisWitts]

Yes, I remember that cement works when on the tankers in the 60s going down to Swansea

[@alanremnant3042]

How many tonnes of cement would be on the Fluvius Otter?

[@ChrisWitts]

Not 100% sure, between 3,000 and 4,500.
