COMMENT THIS PHOTO(2)
What as cracker of a photo! That antipodean sunshine and air always seems to make better photos than the polluted muck we are shooting through most of the time up here.
Although Equasis says KAKARIKI is a crude oil tanker, she is - as you obviously realise - not.
She has 22 fully-coated tanks and can carry up to nine fully-segregated product cargoes, including 3,000 tonnes of bitumen in special tanks amidships. Cargo discharge is by deepwell pumps located at the bottom of the tanks.
These all add up to make KAKARIKI a quite sophisticated product tanker; far from "simple" crude-oil carrier Equasis suggests she is

Another shipping enigma. Shame while the weather good we don't have the volumes you have in the north, obviously then its one or the other. Cool mid winter morning today of around 4-5 deg.C. but sunny, hopefully will hold till Forest Creator sails this afternoon.
Cheers
