Swami, Irlam Locks
With the recent shortage of building materials, cement imports on the Manchester Ship Canal have seen an upturn and a greater variety of ships.
I believe this was the first visit of 'Swami' to the upper reaches of the canal; here she has just left Irlam Locks on her empty return voyage to Limerick, Ireland. At Latchford she passed the inbound 'Maratona' with another cargo of Irish cement.
Built in 1995 as the 'Swan', she became 'Arklow Swan' in 2004 before gaining her current name 'Swami' in 2007. IMO 9100126.
