Exotics 37

Whatever you think about offshore wind farms, you have to admit that the enterprise has brought unusual vessels into local waters, like Trustee and 

Target.  But since some of these never come anywhere near local coasts, what do you imagine they look like?

Here’s Trustee, 

and here’s Target.

Some, however, do come into the sixth boro and tie up in fairly public water’s edges, like Paul Candies.  The Candies name is  synonymous with ship design and innovation.  Some formerly Candies boats have been regulars in the sixth boro, like some of the Genesis boats.

Even closer to home in registry than New Orleans is Cape May, current port of registry for Northstar Navigator.  What do you suppose they look like?

Here they were yesterday in the Brooklyn Navy Yard. 

Northstar Navigator is 265′ loa.

Previously she worked as Keith Cowan and Seacor Sherman.  For all the specs, click here.  I did notice but have no explanation for IMO 9407809 build date variously listed as 2008, 2010, and 2012.

Paul Candies is 331′ loa, launched in 2018, making her six years newer than the Northstar boat.

Within the Candies US organization, Paul is classified as a service operation vessel.

I’m not sure why the two boats are in port.
