The weather was a bit overcast,cool and gloomy around our body of water but there was lots of activity to keep ship watchers moving.The plan at Superport marine Services this morning was to put their newly built tug Strait Raven into cold waters of Port Hawkesbury Harbour.High water was at 0900hrs but the trailer holding the tug was cranky and needed a bit of encouragement to get it to move.I stuck around for a bit and got a few photos from a few different angles.On my return tp Port Hawkesbury the pilot vessel Strait Eagle was out of the water and the new tug was tied alongside the dock at Superport Marine for some finishing work.Rumor has it that the new tug will put to work in Newfoundland.
Tanker traffic was brisk from noon on today when the oil products tanker BW Rhine departed for sea from Nustar and the crude oil tanker European Spirit came in from its anchorage in Chedabucto Bay escorted and docked at Nustar by the tugs Svitzer Bedford ,Point Chebucto and Point Valiant.
The cape sized bulk carrier Sivota is at anchor in Chedabucto Bay and if the weather holds out will be getting topped up by the self-unloader CSL Acadian..
