Once seen a beautiful classic 60s-70s bulker on a pic in some book & now I still can't stop comparing every bulker to that gold standard. :D

Wow,, indeed your marvelous description of this oldie bulker in her thirtythrees, Denis ! ....... it can be utterly clear acknowledged that you are an expert on Bulkers, or to be precise: Their esthetics !!! :D
Kind regards (J)

Awww, without you linking to this, Jadran, I don't know how did I miss it!
Indeed a wonderful composition & the ship herself (thought she lacks more of my favourite cone-cranes & a bit "modern" to be "classic"), I especially like her aft part with stairs-like superstructure & stand-alone funnel there!

Regards,
Denis

Never say never young Jadran. Maybe just maybe we may do some hand shaking.

Thank you Clyde once again,, and I also one more time thank all the other friends members of this site for their much appreciated comments that I have herewith received !
With kindest regards,
Jadran

PS
Clyde,, unfortunately, I don't think there will happen an opportunity of my visit to Australia as I'm already 64.
I shall miss ever visiting the beautiful Australia very much !!!
( it happens to be that I'm born in the States, live in Europe, visited Africa and Asia ... but no Australia ).

Good. Let me know when you are coming

Hahaha Clyde,, according to your explanation of the precise distance ... it seems that we can together "directly do hand shaking" !
Brgds, Jadran ....... and let's do it !!!

"All the way from Australia" !! It's not that far - in a straight line only 10,038 Miles, 16,153 Kilometer , 8,716 Nautical Miles
Greetings from Sydney

Thank you very much Clyde,, especially that your comment and your very kind words are coming to me all the way from Australia !!!
Greetings from Croatia,
Jadran

Much thanks Vlado ....... somehow to me, this fine bulker on this particular photo have together a *classic* shipspotting photography touch !
Greetings from Rijeka,
Jadran

Excellent Jadran. It's good to see beauty in a workplace. I'm glad the rain waited for another 1/2 hour

Great photo, Jadran, thanks for sharing!

@ Mark
On this photo STARRY M is seen undergoing loading operations along the breakwater of the separate Rijeka-Sušak harbour premises called Porto Baroš.
The Porto Baroš premises are equipped with shore cranes & warehouses and are still in normal commercial function for ships' loading/unloading operations.
Hope to have clarified your query, Mark !
Cheers (J)

@ rivanj
Frankly,, I'm especially pleased that this is the only photo posted onto this esteemed website with the Name of this ship now reading STARRY M ( btw,, this fine bulker is 33 years "young" ... and is still in normal trading service + seems to be in very good condition ! ).

Thank you very much for your compliments, rivanj !
Kind regards (J)

Sorry! I forgot to add to my previous comment. Is she moored on the breakwater? As far as I know there are no harbour facilities on breakwater?

Mark

Great shot, Jadran!
Brgds, rivanj

I agree with you Mark,, it was a nice sunny atmosphere and good reflex on the water ..... but one thing you don't know,, only 1/2 an hour later a springtime rain started falling !

Thank you for your comment + your indeed nicely written observation ref. my photo;
Kind regards (J)

Excellent shot with a nice reflex of the cranes and sky on water!
Bravo!
Mark
