It's just listed as an Oil Products tanker.

Nice Shot.

Nice Shot.

Thank you Charles.  You inspired a trip over to the river Thames.

Until the trees are in bloom there isn't much to shoot. The waterfront always looks good.

Will it be long to wait for the trees?

Splendid shot DA.    For a 16 year old tanker she is is really good shape.  I was checking the Vessel Finder and appears the Sarnia Liberty is still moored at Canvey Island.

They are starting to bloom now due to the monsoon type rain we've been having.

I’d hope so.  This was this morning after a failed trip over there to go to Marks and Spencer.   Ps it was low tide at the time.

Okay, that would have been too fast to unload or load in that short period of time then. According to the stats they stay underway quite a bit.

I just realised it’s a regular there.  I posted photos of the same boat last November.  

When it says no smoking on the bridge and you can’t see anybody about for a mile or so it probably means it’s carrying something nasty

What a coincidence.  I'm still amazed at how well it is maintained.

Nice shot of the tanker.

Cheers Mr B,  I didnt realise at the time but I caught this one here last November too.

Theres a real mix you see,  some are rusty and some like the Ro Ro's are usually looking pristine.

It's listed as carrying oil based products so that could be petrol.

Plying its trade back and forth across the North Sea perhaps?

BetterBizTech Posted at 4-12 08:13

I found a way to stop it raining,   just put down grass seed and the rain stops.

He might just go as far as the anchorage at the mouth of the river.

Whatever it's route, it looks well-used.

They need to be to earn their keep.

True enough

I guess it all boils down to pride in ownership.

Murphy's law. Works every time.

Do you think or is just down to the schedule for maintenance.

Well at least it's allowed me to get out and fly a little and break the 95 mil ft flown barrier.

And in the end you'll have a full well watered lawn.

You'd think they would have gotten it in for maintenance over the winter time in order to have it ready for Spring/Summer usage.

I doubt they stop using it in the winter though.

And here I was thinking that nobody was using their boats year around at your locale.

A big difference between commercial ships and day sailors on plastic yachts though.

You're absolutely right about that.  Speaking of yachts this baby just hit the market.  

The first all-carbon superyacht. Khalilah comes packed with a matching 20-foot tender—dripping in gold, of course—as well as an array of water toys, including a jet pack, hoverboard, wakeboard, jet skis, kayaks, paddle boards and inflatables.  Exclusively for sale with an asking price of €28.5 million.

You could fly all your drones off the stern of this beauty.

Blimey, looks like it should be in a James Bond movie.

No doubt that would be an appropriate use for that superyacht.  I couldn't afford the fuel for that beast let alone the wages of the 8 crew members.  

I very much like it!

Do you have to feed the crew too?

thanks Peter.   I liked your barge on IG too.
