Hi Malcolm, it was indeed that day we met. My last photo permit visit to Immingham was 12/04/2003 - although I did go across for the Centenary open day on 22/07/2012.

Indeed Patrick, it's hugely disappointing that so many vantage points have been blocked off to ship photographers since 2000. My last visit to Immingham was on 28th September 2000 for the arrival of SEBA M. and IVAN PEREVERZEV, with HAFEZ also on a clear berth. I think that you were one of the photographers I had met on that memorable day? Best regards. Malcolm

The good old days when you could go onto the approach jetties :)

Great photo. For the record Malcolm, Pacific & Atlantic is owned by Nicholas Pateras.
