    I was at the docks yesterday evening watching a pretty big ship docking, very impressive the way the turned her. not sure what its in for but if you are in the area have a look.

    I see that pictures have already been posted on the Galway Ships website.

    Now that is one big ship would have loved to see her coming in, thanks OP for posting that info, one thing about boards is you dont miss any exciting things happening in the City, way better than any radio station or local papers. :D

    Love how when you click on photo you get a full size one, that is one great site for info on what is coming and going in the harbour.

    I saw it out in the bay from my apartment yesterday alright and thought it looked pretty big, but I hadn't seen a ship come in an a while so I wasn't sure if it was my eyes or not! Pretty big alright.

    She could carry any type of cargo really as she has her own cranes, she is also set up to carry containers, she is currently loading some kind of sand from trucks at the docks.

    In which case it's this company, presumably exporting to Sweden for glass manufacturing: http://www.congcal.com .
