The autocarrier Morning Lena is becoming a regular on the Walllenius Wilhelmsen Ocean transatlantic service. It called at least three times in 2022 and on its May 11 visit discharged RoRo cargo at Pier 9C and cars at Autoport. Today, February 12, it will repeat that sequence, starting at Pier 9C.
As usual the ship must sail through the Narrows, make a U-turn in Bedford Basin, re-enter the Narrows and tie up starboard side to the dock at Pier 9C.

Late afternoon shadows from the A. Murray MacKay bridge fall across the Morning Lena's bow as it transits northward for Bedford Basin.
A rare opportunity for a "stern shot" of the ship reveals two side by side funnels, the "inboard" one of which would be the retrofitted exhaust gas scrubber tower. Note also the free fall lifeboat tucked in adjacent to the stern ramp.
This time no tug's lines parted as they did last May, and the ship was soon turned and headed back to Pier 9C. (Atlantic Willow is made up forward and Atlantic Bear is aft.)
Built in 2010 by Hyundai, Ulsan, the 70,853 gt, 27,297 dwt ship has a capacity of 8100 CEU. It flies the Republic of Korea (South Korea) flag, and has the ship's name in Korean script bow and stern.
The ship is scheduled to move to Autoport first thing tomorrow morning where it will spend most of the day offloading cars.
