CSL Argosy returns and Algoscotia at Nustar.

The 149m x24m tanker Algoscotia was taking on oil products at the Nustar inside berth when I managed to get a few quick photos of it.I believe its been awhile since it was in here.At the same time  the bulk carrier CSL Argosy was at the NS Power coal dock delivering a part load of coal for Savage the company who operate the terminal.

At 1200h APA pilot Capt.Scott MacDonald undocked at the CSL Argosy  from NS Power and set sail for the quarry dock at Aulds Cove. Assisting with the berthing was the tug Svitzer Bedford  with Capt. Jean Gallant at the controls.

After the CSL Argosy was docked the Svitzer Bedford crew did a water cannon test of their firefighting equipment just off the Canso Causeway which caused a number of motorists to honk in approval of the impressive display.
Other vessels departing were the Strait Signet and Strait Exploer headed to Halifax I believe.
The tanker Algoscotia also departed Nustar 2 in the early evening.
