At 1900h on the evening of the 14th the departure of the shuttle tanker from Nustar was aborted after the ship experienced some mechanical problems and was forced to remain alongside .in the cool damp morning light at 0730 h this morning the 3 Svitzer tugs came alongside and took the ship off the dock ,turned it under the direction of APA pilot Capt. Rick Hanlon.
The tugs Svitzer Bedford and Point Chebucto provided escort until the tanker reached checkpoint 8 and the tugs were released and waited around the checkpoint for APA pilot Capt. Scott MacDonald to bring the crude oil tanker Americas Spirit in from India Anchorage in Inhabitants Bay to Nustar Ocean Berth One.to load cargo.
The American registered tug Aura made a call in to the Strait SuperportDock at Mulgrave on the evening of the 14th for water and took on a large quantity of fuel from an Irving tanker truck on the morning of the 15th.
A very nice looking tug it has a similar appearance to the Atlantic Towing vessels and when I saw it approaching Mulgrave thought at first it was the Atlantic Fir.It will eventually sail to New Orleans Louisiana.
