Word reached me last night that the Hiberina Shuttle tanker Kometik has been sold to Andromeda Shipping, and is now bound for Rotterdam.
Andromeda Shipping is a Indian Firm, who appear to own a fleet of 6 tankers.
Demolition on the Irving wharf is almost complete, with only the large concrete mooring points and a portion of the access pier remaining.
The port runs 24/7. Sometimes its worth staying up late to see whats going on.
The Container ship Zim Costanza noses into pier 42, after the birth was vacated by Baltic Mercur II, bound for Tampa.
A simple reminder that the harbour is full of vessels, Large and Small.
Due tonight is the tug Ocean Arctique. The tug is tandem towing two barges, abys and timberland to be used by American Bridge co. For the big lift.
UPDATE: they did not come in last night. Now due to try again Noonish.
UPDATE: They picked up the pilot at noon, and finally made Anchorage 1 by 2:30. here the tow was separated, and the barges moved to the Cherubini wharf. Above, Lady Shirleen and Belle D from RMI Marine are moving the Ocean Abys, Timberland is still in tow of Ocean Arctique
