East Twin Road is a very short cul-de-sac in Belfast docks. Located at the end of Queen's Island, it is used almost exclusively by the scrap metal works (located, unseen, to the right of picture - see Image, Image and Image). The red skips are used by the scrap metal works who, aware that there is virtually no other traffic, use the road to store the empty skips. Dominating the picture, however, are three enormous cranes and the bow of a very large ship. Directly ahead of East Twin Road is the Belfast Dry Dock - see Image and a variety of related images at http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=5511034 . Seen in this picture is the 'Stena Adventurer', a 211m passenger/vehicle ferry which is being serviced in the dock. This vessel normally operates on the Dublin-Holyhead route see Image and Image The dry dock cannot be accessed from the East Twin Road - it actually lies on the adjacent Workman Road but this is private property and has no public access.
