Visitors to the Derwent

Just a cameo post of the variety of vessels docked in Hobart today. At 18:31, there was one less, with the Carnival Splendor heading for more no doubt fleeting visits.

This ship was headed for Port Headland, where, my trusty Marine Traffic app tells me, it will arrive on November 20. No doubt because of excellent maintenance facilities, rather than for tax purposes, it is registered in Panama. It was built in 2008, and has an average speed of 12knots, but a maximum of 22knots.

It left Hobart, as the app predicted, dead on 18:31. I happened to wander past a few hours prior to that, to see passengers heading home, generally with Salamanca Place looking bags.

As always, quite a variety of other craft:
