Maersk Tanker

In my sixth boro observation, Maersk has more container ships than other types of vessels.  Over four years ago, I posted this about the seven-pointed star logo, and all my photos there are ships carrying boxes.  So earlier this week when I read about the tanker Carla Maersk colliding with the bulk carrier Conti Peridot, I recalled having seen a Maersk tanker in the sixth boro in January, I wondered.  Had it been Carla?  Had Carla been in New York harbor?

See it there . .  the third tanker in the row, the blue hull at sunrise on January 23? Black hull is Whistler Spirit, then Cape Troy, and then . . .

Nope . ..  not Carla here approached by Julia Miller.  It’s  . . .

Kirsten Maersk.

As to the question . . . has Carla ever been here?  The answer I found was surprising . . . yes.  I have a photo of her from 2007 but the name then was Bro Promotion.  See the second photo here.
