Vessel movements through the Harbour continue to reduce in number but tonnage is up due to larger vessels. Container ships now 367 metres long increasing during the next few years to 397 metres with 53 metres of beam. Masters 
and Pilots have difficulty sighting their tugs from the bridge. }{
\par }{\f3 \'b7}{\~\~\~\~\~\~\~ }{\b Incidents involving leisure vessels very few, mainly close quarters or not in the yacht track. One involving a moored fishing vessel near the Cork Sand was potentially life threateni
ng, saved by prompt action from Pilot vessels. All moored craft are required to display anchor signals when near commercial areas of operation. }{
