Glasgow And Ships Of The Clyde

CEG COSMOS discharging Aggregates at Brodick Pier, Isle of Arran

Brodick, Isle of Arran, in the Firth of Clyde, Scotland.

    16^th September 2020 at 2135 hours the Riga (Latvia)

registered cargo ship CEG COSMOS anchored in Brodick Bay.  

She had arrived with a cargo of Aggregates from Glensanda

in the Scottish Highlands and, as there are no Pilots for

Brodick, the Master decided to wait until daybreak the

following morning to berth at the pier.

    And so at 0610 hours on 17^th September

 CEG COSMOS came alongside west quay and made fast.

 Discharge soon commenced and, at 1550 hours, shortly

after these images were taken, the vessel backed out from

the pier and left Brodick, light-ship, for Kilkeel in County

Antrim in Northern Ireland.

In the background is “Goatfell” the highest mountain on the island

A short distance from CEG COSMOS can be seen RED PRINCESS

of Troon Tug Company, beached at Market Street, Brodick

and loading Logs for Troon.
