Random Ships 107

The sixth boro sees a large number and wide variety of ships. 

JRT and Margaret Moran assist Bochem Houston off the dock and sail it

farther into the Kills.  Bochem Houston, a 2023-build for Stolt, is one of six “ammonia-ready” tankers.  More on ammonia fuel here.   I’ve still not learned anything about the Amogy project.

Feng Ze Hai is a bulk carrier coming downriver and heading for sea.

 

Zim Pacific (2009)  has seen a long string of previous names, and looked

quite rough.

Tannhauser is a 2020 RORO, transporting vehicles that are rolled on and then rolled off carefully at their destination dock.

 

STI Pontiac 

an odd name for a tanker

melted away in the fog of the Lower Bay.

All photos, any errors, WVD, who thanks the bilge robots for their work.  I’m back.
