Re: Largest vessel to visit Blyth
Blyth has limited draft doc, so may be largest vessel, but I recall not so long ago a large Woodchip Carrier docked there and she exceeded the 34,000t dwcc and have a 34000 dwcc of woodchip you will need a vessel with a volume of circa 50,000cbm to 56,000cbm depending on stowage factor of 0.55/0.60t per cbm

Re: Largest vessel to visit Blyth
Hi Bill
Many thanks for the video of the Albatross. She is now berthed in Greenock and has been for the last few weeks. At least she was there on Friday. Probably waiting for a job.
Regards
