Newspaper Edition Thursday 1st October 1964 Clyde reopened to down-river traffic Up-river sailings today After discussions among officials of the Clyde Navigation Trust, salvage experts, and the Clyde Pilotage Authority, the Clyde was opened yesterday to down-river traffic for ocean-going ships. It was closed on Tuesday after the main channel was blocked by the deadweight ore carrier LIVANITA (26,700 tons), which went aground at Scotstoun. The Clyde Trust were unwilling to allow ocean-going vessels to pass until the south side of the navigable channel opposite the LIVANITA was marked by a buoy. This was done yesterday and by four o’clock the first ship, the Alfred Holt Blue Funnel liner ASTYANAX, sailed down the river. The others which followed her were the AMARNA, DEVIS, INTERPRETER and CORVIGLIA. The COLINA was prevented from sailing by engine trouble. Today six ships, which are held up at Tail of the Bank, will be able to come up river. Thereafter the Clyde Trust hope to resume normal daylight traffic with one-way traffic past the LIVANITA. A senior official of the Clyde Trust said that no attempt will be made to free the LIVANITA, which is flooded in several forward tanks, for several days. A diver is standing by to make a preliminary inspection of the ship’s interior. It is intended to put cranes on board the ship this morning and begin to unload some of the iron ore from the Number 1 hold on to coasters which will probably take the ore to Rothesay Dock. Unloading is expected to take several days. COLVILLES’ STOCKS Because the Colville’s steelworks are running at record-breaking levels, the consumption of ore is massive, and this delay is not for the moment causing concern. They have stocks sufficient for several weeks. If, once the LIVANITA is cleared, there is any congestion at the docks, caused by the arrival of other ore-carriers, Colvilles may use the reserve facilities at the unloading plant at General Terminus Quay to cope with delays. |
