Random Ships 27

Here was 26.

China-built 2008 Ranjan and an unidentified UPT tanker.

The only foto NOT in the sixth boro here, anchored in Guanabara Bay it’s Japan-built 1998 Aframax tanker Moscow Kremlin.   Notice the Cristo Redentor statue atop the mountain to the right.

Korea-built 1995 APL Garnet leaving town today. Name the tug off the port bow?  I can’t look at that covering on the Bayonne Bridge and NOT think of a junk sail.

More on that tug later.  Great names here . . . Silver Lining (2003)  and Christina Kirk ( 2010), both Japan-built.

Fiorano (Netherlands 2012)  I wonder what she delivered here . . .

. .  with Petalouda, Japan 2008.

German-built 2007 Norwegian Gem, included here to show scale with respect to a Circle  Line vessel.  I should have looked more closely at the Circle Line.

Amelia Pacific (Japan 2006) and Americas Spirit Korea 2003).   This view of Americas Spirit better shows her size.

Shippan Island, China 2005

OOCL Vancouver, Japan 2006

Najran, Japan 1998, up on plane perhaps?

And last but not least . . .

she with whom I have a long history . . .

Alice Oldendorff, (China 2000) earlier this weekend offloading in Gowanus Bay Brooklyn.   Alice was featured in my first-ever post here.  Click here to see all the others.

So that tug.  I thought it was Ellen . . . but it’s the slightly newer Robert E. McAllister.

Foto of Moscow Kremlin by my daughter, Myriam, whom I thank.  All others by Will Van Dorp.
