A total of nine boats brought ashore 756 boxes of fish/prawns/squid and no bags of clams. this contrasts with a very quiet previous week which saw just 54 boxes and 51 bags landed.

The vessels were: Our May; Boy Sam; Lily Oak VI; Good Fellowship; Pegasus; Chloe Ella; Crystal Stream; Jenna Maree; Flourish.

A single cargo boat, the Dutch-registered MVH&S Honesty, imported 1967.5 tonnes of malt from King's Lynn on April 17, exporting 2352.42 tonnes malting barley back to that port four days later.
