@ Jadran,, thx,, eah, well, ailed he Sacramnto close to 6 years, got ttached to her, but she isn, he vessel where I was longes on. Another on I was almost 10 years, a small reefer vessel with the name H.F.Sahlman,,, she sailed only Tampa-Carib/South/Cntral America,,, never EU o other. Was a very good lie.

Hi Captain Ted, just for sake of good order:
That seen on this photo is the floating drydock Dok 5 of mini-panamax size,, you were in 2009 in the floating drydock Dok 11 of suezmax size (do you recall that *huge* but *old* floating drydock !? );

PS
Just another curiosity ref. this photograph:
Shipyard Viktor Lenac, Rijeka, Croatia and Micoperi S.p.A, Milano, Italy have a long-term established good collaboration from the early 1970s lasting till today,, at one time (1976 - 1979) had even a Joint-venture agreement.

Well Jadran,, I was in that dock (assume it is the same) in 2009,,, years after this was taken, so pretty much history involved here
