Tijuca

The huge drop in demand for new cars and the closure of many of the factories, has resulted in very few car carrier visits to Halifax. By my reckoning today's arrival of  Wallenius Wilhelmsen's Tijuca is only the second such ship to call in Halifax this month.

After unloading cars at Autoport the ship shifted to pier 27-28 to offload machinery.  The ship is now sporting the new Wilhelmsen colour scheme, replacing the traditional orange. The ship was built in 2008 by Daewoo, Okpo with a 71,673 gt, 30,089 dwt, and a capacity of 7620 (RTE43) units.
