The newest exciting visitor on the Firth of Clyde is the Eco West Coast all the way from America.
The crude oil tanker departed Houston, Texas late last month and arrived in the area early this morning.
The vessel is currently docked at Finnart, before it turns round and heads back out to open sea.
The tanker sails under the flag of the Marshall Islands, and was built in 2021.
It is 274 metres long and 48 metres wide, and she can carry 157,632 tonnes.
