Before looking through this set of a half dozen (out of several dozen or more) tankers that have called in the sixth boro in recent weeks, check out this classification of tankers by size, e.g., handy v. aframax . . and more.
I’ll let you decide how to classify them. Elandra Willow, 2019, and 49999 dwt.
Pantelis, 2004, 114500 dwt.
Sven, 2010, 51703 dwt.
Marlin Ametrine, 2015, 50000 dwt.
She’s being lightered by Gracie M. Reinauer.
Swan Dignity, 2017, 12661 dwt
Maersk Tokyo, 2016, 49687 dwt.
VLCCs and ULCCs do not call in the sixth boro. Suezmax call here infrequently.
All photos, WVD.
Megalopolis roadways see dense traffic, and so do waterways in these areas. I hope these photos convey a sense of that. All but two of the seven vessels are underway. Underway vessels, l to r, are Frederick E. Bouchard, MSC Athens, Jonathan C. Moran, C. F. Campbell, and Fort McHenry.
Dense means tight quarters, Brian Nicholas looking barely larger than the bulbous bow.
Here everything is in motion.
Again, everything here is in motion. I’m not sure what the Reinauer units there are.
All are moving here too . . Frederick E., Pegasus, Meaghan Marie, one of the Moran 6000s, Mister T, a bit of the bow of Mary Turecamo, and CMA CGM Nabucco.
Sometimes a confluence of schedules make the KVK resemble rush hour. Photos, WVD.
This Odfjell tanker has 47 tanks!
I took this recently along the KVK. Today the 1998 tanker is in the Mississippi River heading for New Orleans.
Guess the age here?
She’s just two years old, launched in January 2019.
Elandra Willow has departed for the next job, but this morning Elandra Oak arrived in the sixth boro. Here is the rest of the fleet.
Phoenix Admiral is a regular here, this time arriving after five days from Point Tupper.
Of the three tankers here, she’s by far the largest. The other two are 600’x 32′, and Phoenix Admiral is 820′ x 144′.
All photos, WVD, who has several times prepared a “random tankers” post and several times left them in the “drafts” folder.
More “threes” here.
Going through a backlog from “before” in late winter 2020 . . . a boat approached I didn’t recognize the profile of . . .
William Brewster . . . 65′ x 22′ and built by Blount in 1983. And in spite of the livery, it seems she’s a fleetmate of Helen Parker and Ava Jude.
How’s this for unusual color? Recognize the boat? To see her in previous incarnations, click here and scroll.
Earlier in 2020 I caught Helen Laraway, and
on my way to somewhere else in the archives, I stumbled onto this photo, taken from the window of Amtrak in 2016. I guess this was north of Hudson somewhere.
Charles D. comes and goes. Recently I caught her solo doing an assist.
One of the true staples of my time in the sixth boro has been Ellen McAllister, but what I’d forgotten I noticed in this photo from a few years ago . . . also tripped over while in the dark archives . . .
see the two circular plates on the afterdeck . . . my guess is that’s where the Z-drives were installed.
All photos . . . WVD, who will be exiting the archives soon, I hope, after we win world war c.
