Meanwhile, SEATRUCK PANORAMA is now in  Cammell-Lairds Number 5 dry-dock.  She moved to the facility from the nearby Wet Basin yesterday morning at around 9am.  It is still not clear what her next assignment will be, though it could be a case of releasing one or more of the other Dublin to Liverpool vessels for their own dry-docking’s.
