How about a random sample, as the title says. Afrodite, launched 2005, and dwt of 53k. I believe that was Normandy arriving.

Usma, not US Military Academy because that’s at West Point NY, but a 2007 tanker with a dwt of 53k.

Seameridian, 2001 and right around 50k.

Seaenvoy, same fleet as Meridian, but launched 2017 and 113k dwt.
In this twofer, we have Elandra Willow in the distance, a 2019 launch and 50k capacity, and MTM Santos, 2013 and 22k.

Navig8 Guard was launched in 2019 and capacity around 50k.

The “extra-large” stack houses its scrubber technology.

The oldster of the group is Bow Flora, 1998 and 37k.

She’s an Odfjell tanker.

Lumen N, assisted by Brendan Turecamo, is 2008 and 65k.


And rounding out this post, with pirate-preventing guards on the rails,

it’s BW Kallang, of the huge BW fleet.

FGD flue gas desulfurization was big 30 years ago in land based electric utilities..exhaust gas was run through a lime slurry, the byproduct: gypsum..
Alas, today these plants are closed, replaced by cleaner natural gas power plants..
