With three ships all arriving at the pilot station for 0600 hrs ADT, there was an interesting procession. Not long after that there was another procession of outbound naval vessels, making for a busy morning.
The inbound ships, all regular callers in Halifax in order of arrival were:
Irving Oil's Acadian on one of its last trips through Halifax. Its replacement the new Algoma Acadian is due today in Savannah, Georgia on its working delivery trip, via Brazil, from Korea.
Nirint's Gotland with another delivery of nickel sulfides from Cuba:
and Tropical Shipping's Tropic Hope on the weekly service from the Caribbean.
Morning deparures included a naval contingent heading to near shore areas for exercses:
The Royal Canadian Navy charter Asterix was first to leave (no photo here- I had to eat breakfast sometime) and HMCS Montreal:
... followed by an as yet unidentified, by name, US submarine:
and the visiting Danish
There was also later activity, stretching through to noon time.
The cable carrier Fairwind Legion arrived for Pier 9B to load cable racks.
and the cable ship IT Infinity:
Then there was a departure from Autoport. Wallenius Wilhelmsen's Oberon is on the usual route from north Europe.
Aside from the Danish visitor, all of these ships are regular callers and have been covered in detail previously in this blog, so no details are given here.
There were some other arrivals and departures today, so it was a very busy day in the port.
