Value is a creation from 2011
in the Samsung Heavy Industry yards in Goeje. Currently the yard is working on–among other things–Utopia.
Value docked for a few days in Bayonne, but now
passing container ships and all the other traffic
will see . . . Ice Blade. And Value, as of this morning,
has anchored somewhere off Rockaway, Queens.
All fotos by Will Van Dorp, from various spots along the KVK.
Here and here are some other vessels delivered by Samsung in Goeje.

Value! Utopia! tried to view their other idealistically named ships, but their editorial dept must be still working on it.
and meanwhile, on vhf 13: “Value-how about a two for one today?”
And on noble names, did you notice in that article you linked to: a John Noble is to be found at the International Salvage Union! Do you think he knows our hero, John Noble of the KVK? coincidence? hmm…
