A beautiful day on the water in our area.

    Bright sunshine created some perfect light for anyone photographing ships in and around the Strait Area today.The oil products tanker Prisco Alexandra (182mx32m) arrived in ballast about 1300h this afternoon after departing Anchorage Delta in Chedabucto Bay. APA pilot Scott MacDonald went aboard and took the vessel to the inside berth at Nustar.


Assisting with docking manouever were the tug Point Chebucto with Tugmaster derek king in the wheelhouse and the tug Svitzer Bedford with Tugmaster Vern Turple at the helm.
      At the Martin Marietta Quarry dock loading of construction aggregates continued  on the CSL vessel Sheila Ann.




The Australian Spirit(255m x44m)  was taken off the Nustar Outside Dock by APA pilot Elias Dorey after partially discharging some of its cargo of crude oil.






The coal topoff was restarted out in Chedabucto Bay between the Marivictoria and the CSL Acadian and is expected to be finished thru the wee hours of the 19th.
