Photographer BlogM.V. Umiavut ( IMO# 8801591) arrives in the snow.. Monday March 2, 2009 at 6:01 PM by Rod A previously unseen SPLIETHOFF managed ship, The Umiavut (IMO# 8801591), arrived in Narragansett bay this evening (in the middle of a snowstorm) bound for Melville. It's way to early for the usual migration of boats (from the south to the north) to begin, so I expect that it's a unique situation. Most probably a boat is leaving Melville for points elsewhere but it may also be that something special has arrived to be offloaded at Melville. Hopefully if the weather clears, I can get up to Melville tommorrow and get some pictures. Time will tell. Here is an interesting link to the ship talking about where the ship runs usually.... http://www.neas.ca/pdf/sailing_schedule.pdf IMO number : 8801591 Name of ship : UMIAVUT Call Sign : PFQE Gross tonnage : 6037 Type of ship : General Cargo Ship Year of build : 1988 Flag : Netherlands Back to blogs |
