Three 'Arklows' at Belfast

Arklow Shipping, established in 1966 at Arklow, County Wicklow, currently operates a fleet of 37 ships each easily identified by their vivid green livery. They mainly operate around Europe and North Africa and it is commonplace to see the vessels in Belfast. I have never before seen three together at the same time however.
Berthed at Stormont and West Twin wharfs, from left to right are the 'Arklow Willow', 'Arklow Raider' and 'Arklow Viking'. See also Link

West Twin Wharf, Belfast

Wharf at the Victoria Channel, Belfast docks.
The wharf was constructed in 1962-63 by Charles Brand & Son and has a total quayage of 212 metres. The large concrete silo, named West Twin Silo, was constructed 1962-64 for W.R Barnett and R. & H. Hall, with an extension added 1970-73. The modern metal silos to the far right are more recent additions again.

Stormont Wharf, Belfast

Wharf at the Victoria Channel, Belfast docks. The wharf was constructed 1956-62 by Charles Brand & Son, to provide a total lineal quayage of 580 metres; this was further extended by an additional 250 metres which was completed in 2009. Stormont Wharf is now one of the longest deep water quays in Ireland.
