Hi Ron, Thank you. The Control Tower will probably be demolished. Final consideration is under way at the moment. You can subscribe to an excellent Newsletter and video reports from http://www.barangaroo.com/

Another classic "Clyde" shot, I'm surprised the control tower (also known as "The Pill") has closed, is it because of the Barangaroo development? hope you enjoyed your coffee lol
best wishes Ron

Lower case lettering has been touched on before here, with other 'lines' mentioned in using it.

Stolt tankers may have a variety of hull colours and ports of registry but one thing they seem to have in common is the unique (?) use of lower case lettering in their names. Maybe someone can think of other examples?

Thank you Barry, rd77,Phil. My education has been advanced.

Stolt has a number of subsidiaries. The international arm operates most of the larger vessels, which tend to have the distinctive golden yellow hulls. The European short-sea division includes many of the smaller ships more regularly seen in and around the U.K. and these traditionally have black hulls. It's likely that it's a legacy of the Stolt takeover many years ago of the old Buries Markes coastal chemical fleet. Stolt did not have a European short sea division prior to this, and have simply continued the colour scheme as new ships have been built.

Do the different colours exist because of a merger some time ago? Or some other reason? I prefer the distinctive yellow.

The small (coastal) Stolt tankers usually don't have the yellow hulls indeed.

The Stolt tankers that visit the UK normally have black or red hulls.

Do some Stolt tankers in Europe have a livery other than gold? Thanks Jadran for noticing this one

You can't miss a STOLT tanker with its attractive livery,, especially when it's freshly painted like this one on the photo !
