Description:

It's not often a 40-year old container ship gains a new name and brand-new paint scheme. Interestingly, her appearance here is quite-contrary to her listed fate on Miramar, which states she was scrapped in China last year.

Seen moored at APM Terminals on the Sitcum Waterway. She recently arriving in Tacoma to serve as a reserve stand-in while ships on the Tacoma-Anchorage run undergo yard periods. Her sister, HORIZON CONSUMER, can be seen in the background as she subs in for HORIZON KODIAK, which is being fitted with exhaust scrubbers in Nantong, China.

As Horizon Producer, was a permanent crewmember for many years on the various Atlantic runs to SJU. Also did 2 shipyards in China with ferrying trips back and forth thru Panama Canal. Have many photos. She is an excellent, well built old ship in need of big money for overdue maintenance and upgrades.

Incidentally, this ship and her sister, Sea-Land Consumer (IMO 7224306, completed as Australia Bear), were both ordered by Matson but were sold to Pacific Far East Lines before launching. They were then sold to Sea-Land before Producer was completed as New Zealand Bear Bear. Now Producer has come full circle back to Matson.

Nice one, Kyle! One of a few 70s containerships still around, eh?
