The first two and last two photos here come thanks to John Jedrlinic . .. aka Jed. He took these of Marlin in Baltimore in late July 2009.
Has anyone heard of/seen it since it was sold foreign?
The next batch were taken in the Beerkanaal area seaward of Rotterdam in early March (I think) by Jan Oosterboer and sent via Rene Keuvelaar and Fred Trooster. I’ll just list the names and embed more info: Iskes Brent,
Smit Panther with 1200′ CSCL South China Sea,
Smit Ebro,
SD Stingray with enhanced fire fighting gear,
Smit Cheetah,
Canadian built Svitzer Nabi and Nari,
Smit Hudson,
and SD Rebel.
Look at the palm trees. Jed took this one of Fort Bragg last month in a place where northerners probably wished they were. . . .
. . and this one of Susan Moran in Norfolk in early June 2012.
Thanks to Jed, Jan, Rene, and Fred for these photos.

Tug MARLIN was acquired by unknown Panamanian interests in 2012, after being laid up in 2011 at Penn Maritime’s Staten Island yard. She retained her name, and her present status is in layup in Maracaibo, Venezuela.
