I’m back in the sixth boro. And it’s always exciting to see what’s new. The 2021 UHL Faith, an F900 Eco-Lifter fits that bill.
UHL Faith first stopped at the Howland Hook docks, and Gerard Thornton got the first three photos in this post.
The red tubular structures on deck are components of a crane.
Right after arriving in the boro, Wednesday I hurried over to see Howland Hook from the NJ side to get these photos.
Gerard reports the crane components were Paceco. I’m not sure what model crane these parts will become.
Friday morning finds UHL Faith at the head of the Elizabeth Channel of NYNJ port.
Have other UHL vessels visited the sixth boro?
Many thanks to Gerard for the first three photos; the others, WVD.

Note that Paceco, in addition to building cranes, once was a builder of tugs, barges and other workboats. I used to work on Paceco-built tugs doing inter-island and harbor service towing out of San Juan, Puerto Rico. Paceco was once owned by Fruehauf (the trailer company), which also owned Maryland Shipbuilding and Drydock–where I also worked–who built NYC-DEP’s North River sludge transport vessel.
