Fjord
IMO : 8636740
Build : 2000 by Jinling Shipyard, Nanjing in China, nr ?? as Boabarge 19
Build as a barge, modified to a ship, a unusual modification but apparently worthwhile. Although the whole modification period has been a bit ugly, owners falling out with eachother, shipyard not meeting schedules, contracts being canceled, etc etc…and the result of it all: an ugly ship with a very strange bow.
Like a nice face with a big out of shape nose on it!
Here she is in her days as a simple barge (with a big f**k-ass cargo on her)
And they are buiding a sistership as well, or should I say: modifying a sisterbarge??

The ship is designed for a purpose and thats to transport equiptment, besides i don’t think the Fjord and FJell look Freaking Ugly!!
