Evening,

Thanks for the feed back. Sounds like someones being doing their homework ;)

You're correct about ARAKAN.
It then went:
MTS VECTOR sailed 22/3 with KYE TORRENT
MTS VALIANT sailed 22/3 with ARDENNES
EN AVANT 1 sailed 23/3 with A141 TORCH
EN AVANT 1 sailed 25/3 with LORNA

All bound for Ghent.

Thanks Mike or recording some of this.

I believe that the sequence is:

BEVER sailed 22/3 with ARAKAN (L4003), arrived Ghent 23/4 [I saw these arrive at Terneuzen adn lter berthed at Ghent]
MTS VALIANT sailed 22/3 with KYE TORRENT, arrived Ghent 24/3
EN AVANT 1 sailed 23/3 with TORCH (A141), arrived Ghent 24/3
EN AVANT 1 now returning to Lowestoft, presumably to pick up ARDENNES (L4001) tomorrow.

Is that right?
