Afloat reader Lee Maginnis has shared a new image of the suction dredger Charnock returning to Warrenpoint in Co Down after emptying its load in the open sea on Sunday (24 March).

As previously reported on Afloat.ie, the vessel has been carrying out dregding operations in the approaches and deep-water berths of the inner harbour of Warrenpoint Port since the end of February.

These operations are expected to continue until mid April.
