Identity and ownership or affiliation can be read from vessel stacks. Seeing the photo below with the gray, blue, and gold rings over a white stack . . . you might know that could be only one of two vessels, USNS Comfort, which it is, or USNC Mercy. Other USNS or Military Sealift Command vessels have appeared here on this blog.
CMA CGM Thames is one of many large (1100 to 1200′) container vessels in the world’s fourth largest container shipping company. No vessels from the two largest container shipping companies are shown in this post. Do you know what these companies are?
Hansa Meersburg is a much smaller containership, less than 600′, that appears to run a feeder route between the Caribbean, Canada, and New York.
Seatrade has their “colour class” vessels, only slightly longer than 600′ but they offer lots of reefer capacity for round-the-world trade.:
This is a tug . . . Andrea, recently re-logo’d from HMS to Centerline Logistics.
Mr Connor counts as an exotic, a Marquette Transportation Offshore vessel. Another Marquette vessel that’s called here is Miss Emily.
Cosco has a number of 1200′ container vessels calling in the sixth boro, this one being Hope. Moore on this huge conglomerate can be found here.
APL expands to American President Line, Ltd, a company that can trace its history back to before the Civil War. Currently is a Singapore register company, part of the CMA CGM group. Confused yet? Yang Shan is a deepwater port, an island off Shanghai, created since the year 2000.
The BW Group, begun in Hong Kong, is involved in many aspects of the energy trade.
SCF expands to Sovcomflot. Victor Bakaev was Soviet Minister of the Merchant Marine from 1954 until 1970, and more.
Fairchem Endurance
And let’s end this post with Hyundai Merchant Marine vessel Hyundai Hope.
All photos recently by WVD, who hopes you notice some patterns here.
It’s hard to believe that this title has come up 286 times before today, but here they all are. And yet, I’m starting out with a photo of Ellen McAllister, who herself has appeared here hundreds of times, but never quite like this, heading into the dawn and about to pass an unidentifiable Vane tugboat.
Ditto Pegasus, passing between a Bouchard tug to the left and some Centerline boats to the right, and below that ONE container on the bridge and the Fedex plane in the sky.
Double Skin 57 and Long Island, previously Peter F. Gellatly, moves a barge past IMTT, where some Reinauer boats–RTC 103 and Morgan— are taking on product.
Potomac gets an assist from Fort Schuyler.
Ava M. McAllister passes UACC Ibn Al Haitham, where Genesis Victory is lightering and Liz Vinik assisting.
On another morning, Fort Schuyler heads for the Upper Bay, and that looks like Kristin Poling in the distance to the left.
And where Meredith C. Reinauer is lightering Marvin Faith, Bouchard’s Linda Lee, Ellen S., and Evening Breeze look on.
All photos recently by WVD,who had to look up the namesake of the UACC crude carrier. He turns out to be a Basra-born scientist from a millenium (!!) ago. That link is worth a read.
All photos here were taken less than an hour after sunrise. It’s commonly known that the golden hour is the best time for photos.
Mary Turecamo also headed out for morning work, not that this is anything but a 24/7 essential schedule.
HMS St Andrews arrives with sunrise on its back. Has the HMS been dropped from the name,
just as port of registry has been changed?
Eastern Dawn slings Port Chester into the dock.
Ellen heads out,
meeting a Vane tug on her way to a job.
Cape Henry comes off the anchorage, westbound on the KVK.
All photos, WVD.
In case you’re keeping track, I’ve been home a long time quite a while, happy to help by staying put. I’ve had harder work, and I’m really busy. Nautical Sarah is still in town, a week and a half after she appeared to be departing.
USNS Watkins has been all the way to Florida, I believe.
Atlantic Sail is back in Liverpool, albeit briefly.
Lalinde is heading back to Guatemala.
Cardiff is underway, halfway to Brasil.
Songa Winds is anchored off Savannah. Rana Miller may be farther south than that, and Ernest Campbell is in the KVK.
An very light RHL Agilitas is bound for the Halifax portion of its route, and
Lady Saliha is in Veracruz.
Seebee, CMA CGM Orca, etc. . . . I see your intriguing signal . . . but I’m not getting photos.
All photos here, taken and not taken, WVD.
More low verbal density from a weak wifi signal . . . in my social media distanced outpost. But I do wonder about the story here: Liz Vinik with a barge of small response boats beside Barry Silverton with Fight ALS.
HMS Justice has the orange centerline, but still a name with hMS . . .
Brooklyn pushes DBL 27.
Lucy Reinauer pushes RTC 61.
Stephen B, here looking like Ste, heads for the next job.
And finally, Cape Henry appears to be preparing to tied up to her barge.
All photos, WVD, who encourages all actions aimed at staying healthy. I accidentally shook hands with some this morning.
How’s this as an unusual perspective, East Coast coming through the Narrows and under the VZ Bridge, barely visible at top of photo, with a sugar barge, not sure which one. I believe that’s a Sandy Hook antenna and West Bank Romer Shoal Light off starboard.
Kimberly Poling heads into the Kills past Robbins Reef Light.
James William has been moving garbage containers these days.
The intriguingly named Iron Wolf passes the Brooklyn Army Terminal.
Mary Alice moves Columbia New York.
A few hundred yards ahead of Iron Wolf is Sea Fox.
Andrea departs the Kills to pick up a fuel barge.
Mary H returns from a run with barge Patriot.
And finally, Fox3 heads southbound; that’s the southern tip of Manhattan behind her.
All photos, WVD.
We’ve seen this before with entire fleets, as in the Kirbyfication . . . and Blueing . . . almost exactly a decade ago.
So check out St. Andrews now compared with then. Harley Marine Service, aka HMS, for a few weeks now has become Centerline Logistics Corporation, hence the orange stripe.
Andrea has gotten the new livery, including the lion on the stack.
Of the two boats that arrived here from Alaska not quite two years ago, Ernest Campbell has had the “centerline stripe” added,but not
the stack lion.
And C. F. Campbell has not been touched at all . . . as of this morning.
All photos by WVD.
