Crude oil tanker Australis, 299,095 DWT. Loch Long, Argyll, Scotland.

Shown heading down Loch Long on route to Falmouth. The Australis spent five or six years as a storage tanker at Finnart. Her departure is the result of the pending closure of the Grangemouth refinery. Whilst the Grangemouth refinery is privately owned, it will mean Scotland will in future have to rely on imports because politicians - in both Holyrood and Westminster - failed to act to save the last oil refinery facility in Scotland. Yet another example of politicians stupidity and short-sightedness!
