The liquefied petroleum gas carrier (LPG) Gas Arctic is currently prescribing multiple circles within the confines of Lyme Bay, presumably on a maintenance 'cruise'. Sea conditions are calm so it is not a question of movement to avoid dragging anchor.
The vessel first arrived off Hope's Nose on July 11th and has remained there constantly apart from one or two bunkering (refuelling) transits.
There is no destination listed for the Gas Arctic and it may be a possibility that the ship is waiting for a contract to be arranged.
The Gas Arctic (length 89 metres, width 32 metres) is less than half the size of the Sanko Mineral (189 X 32) which anchored in Babbacombe Bay for nearly a year and so will afford the crew a far less comfortable platform for a lengthy stay.
