Sunday morning ship watching...

The sun provided some awesome lighting today as in rose in the East and spread its beneficent rays all over the Strait Area and especially on the crude oil tanker Evridiki as it was preparing to get underway from Nustar's Ocean Berth One.
      APA pilot Scott MacDonald was tasked to undock the empty crude tanker and get it safely out of the Canso Traffic Zone.


The tugs Svitzer Bedford ,Point Chebucto and Point Valiant were used in the seamless operation and the vessel sailed off into the beautiful weather.
As the Evridiki was proceeding outbound the incoming tanker NS Lotus was boarded by APA pilot Elias Dorey who took it alongside at the recently vacated outside berth at Nustar.
      I caught a glimpse of the Irving owned Atlantic Fir alongside the dock at Port Hawkesbury .It was in the area to pick up the barge Atlantic Shark which has been at the former Louisiana pacific dock in Point Tupper.There was a pilot ordered for a 1200h departure.
