Coial Topoff and Crude Oil unloading

  The crude oil tanker Nordic Breeze 158597 dwt. was docked at Nustar Ocean berth One yesterday evening and at this writing is still discharging its cargo and there is a tentative call for a pilot for 0
500 h on the 27th.

Meanwhile the self-unloading bulk carrier CSL Acadian (245 m x 32 m)sailing from Norfolk was expected at the pilot station about 2115h and will go alongside the cape size bulk carrier Southern Wisdom(289 m x 45 m) to top it off with coal.If the weather is in their favour the operation should be completed early on the 28th.The photos above are of the CSL Acadian from my archives.
**The mateup of the Southern Wisdom and CSL Acadian was cancelled late in the evening of the 26th  and is tentatively rescheduled for 2200h tonight.*** The two bulkers awaiting  a mateup were still apart due to weather factors but the latest tentative pilot booking is for 1800h this evening the 28th.
