Port of Sunderland

[Meathead]

Seems to be doing really well with record cargo volumes coming in last year, hopefully it continues post-Brexit!

Also, I didn't realise it had been in operation for 300 years!

Will definitely have to pop along to that. There's a repeat of the Sunderland on Sea documentary on BBC2 tonight, I'm looking forward to it as I missed it last time around.

Think they poached one of the top boys from PoT, and he brought customers with him.

That's quite impressive to double the tonnage in 7 years, unless they are just bringing in heavier cargoes of course.

If you look at the PoS desktop website shipping movement section, South Shields marine school is registered as a ship and its destination is listed as “Slut Island”.

I live opposite it, some weeks there is nowt and other weeks 6/7/8 vessels. The bigger vessels seem to be more frequent now than a few years back, they also have their weekly regulars like cellusand the highland ships.

Used to always be deserted when I used to work in there in the early 00's. They built a waste treatment works on a fair chunk of it and the only other thing of note was a fuel distribution facility.

The busier the better. I will get on the north eastern beach or the mixer fishing no bother now.
