Tankers don’t usually dock here, and
tankers of this size, Suezmax and 910′ x 157′ are not even the norm in the sixth boro.
I don’t know the story, but
since she’s so light, I needed to get these close ups at
dawn.
She’s sailed the oceans for less than a year since leaving a shipyard–don’t know which–of this company. If she’s not the actual newest, she’s certainly among the newest, and since she’s the only Suezmax tanker in town, I’m certain she’s the newest Suezmax tanker in the sixth boro this morning.
She’s exposing a lot of hull.
All photos, WVD.
Here are her fleetmates.

If you’re wondering about the ring ahead of the propeller in the fourth photo, it’s a pre-swirl stator that improves the efficiency of the propeller, reducing fuel consumption.

Samsung Heavy Industries Co., Ltd., at Koje, Korea, built the Nordic Harrier, delivered 12 May 2022 to Ocean Yield A/S of Lysaker, Norway, a partner with Kohlberg Kravis Roberts in container and oil shipping. It is under bareboat charter for six years to the ASYAD Shipping Company, Oman, and managed by Nordic American Tankers Ltd., Bermuda. It was at Marcus Hook in early December and between then and now called at Lomé, Togo, which does export crude, but not much. My guess is it’s having work done on it in your neighborhood.
