Uh . . .
Other than that the name of the vessel below seems entirely Thai, I don’t know what to say.
Want a list of Stolt tankers? Click here. Sypress, I believe, is the Norwegian name for the conifer tree spelled differently in English. For all the ones already posted in tugster, click here.
Battersea Park . . . is a park south of the Thames.
Low light photos are only sometimes interesting . . .
At first one might think Glovis is the vessel name, but upon closer study,
clearly it’s not and the company is likely Korean, given the text. Previous Glovis vessels can be found here.
Cariboo is a 2012 scrap-loaded bulk carrier currently most of the way to Egypt; where it goes from there I don’t know, but scrapped beams, cars, trucks, and boats end up in the hold of vessels like Cariboo.
And finally, we return to that first vessel, the nameless one. My suspicion is that it may be between owners. The IMO number, however, stays with the vessel like a VIN, and the IMO number says that the name might be/have been Energy Trophy, a crude tanker.
All photos and any errors by Will Van Dorp.
Maybe someone can explain this . . . late last week, six ROROs, of which one was Glovis Comet arrived in the port. Six! Is this odd? Am I missing something?

Thank you Will for sharing your world with me. I really enjoyed watching ships and tugs in the mist. Now I have to start painting. Bill
