Grande Senegal

I’ve seen other Grimaldi Grande vessels, but never Grande Senegal.

So not matter that it was a gray day, I was happy to see this vessel calling in NYC’s sixth boro for the first time.

Grimaldi is the parent company to ACL, whose unique new vessels have appeared on this blog here.   Click here to see Grande Senegal at her original shipyard back in 2010.

 

 

Unrelated here, but I wonder if vessels passing under this bridge will appear smaller once the soon-to-be-obsolete lower roadbed is removed.

I’d love to see what tugboats assist the Grande— ROROs at port calls along the West African coast.  Anyone out there can help?

Resolute and all the other escort boats and crews keep shipping in the groove around Bergen Point.
