V Kerkis
IMO : 8029064
Build : 1982 by Mhi Nagasaki Shipyard & Engine Works – Nagasaki in Japan, nr ?? as Shinho Maru
If you are a regular on this site you might remeber the Kergi, the Sea Baltica & Sea Nordica and the Balmung. The common demeanor for all these vessels is that they have holes in their respective accomodations. Read the rest of this entry »

At first glance, I thought this was just another rather pleasant looking general cargo vessel in the Chinese shipping fleet, that, like many others, has survived much longer than most of its contemporaries by sailing in East Asia.

It seems to be pretty well established that car carriers are among the ugliest ships out there plying the cargo lanes. If that’s true, then only three quarters of a car carrier shouldn’t be as ugly, right?

NOR Tigerfish

Build :2007 by Jaya Asiatic Shipyard – Batam in Indonesia, nr 860 as NOR Sky
I know that heli-decks are the latest “must have-accessory” in the offshore vessel world but in my opinion this is just a little bit over the top. Or actually: quite a bit OTT.
It’s like the shy gentle kid at school suddenly going all wild and showing up one day with a big pink mohawk.

At least the crew doesn’t have to bother filling up the forepeak ballast water tank anymore.
Here she is in her “gentle”-period.

Thansk again to Denis for the tip!
Flashback week 20-2010
The Boomtow Rat sang about why they don’t liked mondays, what’s not to like about mondays? Especially if there is another Flashback to get your week started right!
Here is the Flashback to week 20 of 2009.
The only thing we did in this week was looking at the Thialf, not the God but the SSCV, a monster of the sea.
