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.

Evening Breeze is a Bouchard new build, only recently arrived here.
