Swami, Irlam Ferry
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 approaches the former Irlam Ferry dock on her empty return voyage to Limerick, Ireland.
Built in 1995 as the 'Swan', she became 'Arklow Swan' in 2004 before gaining her current name in 2007. IMO 9100126.
