I think we have a high number this year is from the windmill shipments that BBC & Beluga well equipped to handle. There have been a lot of the common salties going to scrap in the last couple years because they are 20+ years old. I'm sure you will see less and less old salties as new environmental restrictions kick in.

Seems like an unusually large number of first-time visits from tankers this season too.

I'd say this is a record year. 2008 we had about 30 and 31 in 2007. Looks like BBC, Beluga and Wagenborg have had a hand in running up the number.

Looks like 62 first timers so far this year. Is this more than usual?
