~SHIPS~DORSET~ Images of the Month for August 2022 ~ 1of2 ~ ~ Asklipios ~ Weymouth Bay - June 2022  

Capital Gas’ new LNG tanker Asklipios arrived from Sabine Pass in Texas on June 15th and anchored in Weymouth Bay to take on bunkers. Paul Dallaway was on hand to capture our first picture. Later that day, with Monjasa Provider having completed her bunkering operations, Steve Belasco was out on the water resulting in our second picture. Thanks to both of our photographers.
