I have been following the forum pretty much daily for the last 6 months waiting patiently and just picked up relevant bits of info here and there. Monkeyhanger seems to be pretty clued up with the ships into the Tyne and apparently anything to Scotland goes through that port. The three ships operating Emden -Tyne I think are City of Rome, Paris and Rotterdam. You can google port departures or the ships themselves and you can track them and routes on sat nav etc. For Norwich I'm not sure what port is used or the ship names .. Maybe someone else can help??
the amount of cars coming and going on the tyne is amazing now. huge storage on both sides of the river
all the japanese cars seem to come and go on the south side at tyne dock (right next to the coal terminal..they must get covered in dust!)
all VAG cars have a storage facility on the north side next to a marina and a retail outlet
google maps was updated recently as its showing the new car storage they expanded into on the south side so you can see hundreds of cars lined up at both facilities and the new biomass tower they built..though not the huge new container crane just added
