Description:

Mastera in Blohm & Voss drydock, Hamburg, 27.11.2007.

Mastera has got two special features:
1. She's got two identical bridges, one aft and one ahead.
2. She's got no rudder.
She's used in the Baltic Sea between Finland and Russia.
Her azipod, which actually also is the rudder allows her to act as an icebreaker if necessary. If the ice gets to thick she turns around and goes stern ahead, the azipod breaking the ice. Thus the second bridge aft.

Hello Jens,

Hi Michael,
yes, you're right, I think until now I got shots from every vessel I found drydocked at Blohm & Voss or Norderwerft. Always very interesting.
Hope you'll have sunny weather when you visit Hamburg. :-)

Regards,
Jens

Very interesting, now don't say you never have luck with the big ships, I just wonder - the bridge is really that green, or just on photo ?

Sometimes some big ones which are no container vessels come around. But did you have a look at the date? :-D
And yes, it's really that green...

Edit: HERE you can compare bridges...

Some time after I took the photos I happened to watch a documentary about Mastera on TV where I learnt about these special features. Really interesting indeed. Before that I didn't even notice that the rudder was "missing"! :-D

OK, checked that on the internet - one not so usual ship, always nice to see ! Not what you always get.

I'm not too familiar with it, but a tanker/icebreaker is quite interesting.
