What's In Port

 It was a quiet November 11 in the port, with arrivals and departures mostly happening in the dark. Irving Oil had the East Coast arriving from Boston last night and due to sail this evening.

As one of Irving Oil's Canadian flag tankers it is more often seen in Canadian ports, but it is also well known in several northeastern US ports.

Imperial Oil also had a tanker alongside. Hafnia Lise is a 29,658 gt, 49,876 dwt vessel, built in 2016 by Guangzhou International. It is notable for having enclosed bridge wings.

Its last port was Port Neches, TX, situated between Port Arthur and Beaumont on Sabine Lake.

The Atlantic Sail arrived in the late afternoon for Fairview Cove.

PSA Halifax had the Edison alongside all day. It arrived in the early morning and is not due to sail before midnight. It is the first time the ship has called in Halifax, and regrettably photos were awkward to say the least.

It is a 142,052 gt, 141,448 dwt ship with a capacity of 13,092 TEU including 1,000 reefers. It was built in 2011 by Hyundai Samho as Maersk Edison.
