Better weather for sailing.
The bright sun and a significant drop in the winds that ummeled our region since Friday night were cause for celebration as vessel traffic got underway at around 0800h when the Arctic Endurance departed mulgrave for sea.At 0900h the tanker Americas Spirit with pilot Captain Elias Dorey on the bridge departed the Nustar Ocean Terminal for sea .
The next vessel to be brought in was the 76000 dwt oil products tanker that docked at the Nustar Ocean Berth One .Pilot on board was capt. Scott MacDonald and he was assisted by the tugs Svitzer Bedford and Point Chebucto..Superport Marine Services vessels Wikit and Strait Rider carried dock crew to handle lines and towed lines from the bow and stern of the tanker..
The pilot vessel on duty was the Strait Falcon.Capt Melvin Brushett was the helmsman today.
