The CCGS Private Robertson VC, the first of the new Hero Class mid shore patrol vessels for the coast guard began trials in the Basin today. She had been tied up at pier 9 since she was launched in May.
UPDATE: Addtional Photos:
Better photos to hopefully follow.
The Marine Nationale De France vessel Fulmar arrived on Thursday for her annual visit. Fulmar is the French Governments marine presence in the waters off the Islands of St Pierre and Miqulon, and is used for fisheries patrol, Search and Rescue, and Law enforcement.
She is a converted Fishing trawler.
The VLCC Front Crown currently at anchor today renamed to DS Crown. This probably means a change in her charter. Front list her as a managed vessel, so she may be renamed to her owner or New Manager DS-Rendite-Fonds.
Her AIS Name was updated mid Afternoon, and the Name on the Bow was repainted this morning.
