A 4,636 ton cargo
vessel – the Portuguese registered Tanja – arrived at Salford Quays along the
Manchester Ship Canal, from the Baltic, on 29th March with the first
of a regular consignment of timber destined for the fitted kitchen trade – and
the largest vessel to go to through Mode Wheel Lock, near the end of the Ship
Navigation, and into the Quays for many years. The goods were unloaded at a
quay within about 100 metres of the factory taking delivery – providing another
demonstration of the cost and energy-efficient transport that the waterways can
provide.
