Hi Jadran, thanks for your nice comment to this pic ! I think, this barge is a recent addition to Gitra Shipping's fleet, let's hope it can keep its really neat appearance for quite a while !

Best regards from seaweasel

Surprisingly she is only a plain Cement Tanker,, because ..... she is so neat & clean that she could freely be a "Pure Milk Carrier"; :D
I very much like the distinctive blue colouring of her pipelines and other deck details in combination with the white colour of the cargo tanks.

: indeed a very nice & interesting photo seaweasel; thanks for sharing !
