   It had been a very dull, grey and gloomy morning at Gourock and the thick heavy mist was slowly dispersing and this image shows Western Ferries' SOUND OF SEIL (on the left) inbound to McInroy's Point.

   The ferry on the right is SOUND OF SHUNA, having left McInroy's Point for Hunter's Quay.

   Immediately to the right of SOUND OF SHUNA, lurking and almost invisible in the mist and anchored quietly off Kilcreggan is the cargo ship ARCTIC ROCK, wating patiently to go upriver to the BAe Systems Fairfield Basin at Govan, Glasgow.   There she is expected to moor with her stern to, and perpendicular to the west quayside (basically doing a Mediterranean moor) and doing a roll-off discharge of her project cargo.
