Im Jahr 2019 ist den meisten Bahnfreunden 182 510-8 als "BTHVN" (Beethoven) Werbelok präsent. Vor acht Jahren jedoch war ES 64 U2-010 allerdings noch in der gelb-silbernen Lackierung des SIEMENS Dispolok-Pools anzutreffen. Bei Pölling beförderte sie einen farblich perfekt abgestimmten ARS Altmann Zug via Nürnberg in den Norden der Republik.

The image captures a striking maritime scene at Dublin Port, where the massive car carrier Swallow Ace is being expertly guided by the smaller but robust tugboat Beaufort. The Swallow Ace, a modern roll-on/roll-off (Ro-Ro) vessel, is designed to transport thousands of vehicles across the globe. Built to handle the demanding conditions of international shipping, this car carrier boasts a capacity to hold around 5,000 to 6,000 vehicles, making it a vital link in the global automotive supply chain. On this particular journey, the Swallow Ace has traveled an impressive distance, starting from the port of Bantagas, Japan, and making strategic stops at major hubs like Shanghai, Singapore, Tyne on Weir, Zeebrugge, before reaching its final destination in Dublin. This voyage underscores the ship’s role in connecting automotive manufacturers with markets across Asia, Europe, and beyond, ensuring vehicles reach dealerships and consumers efficiently.
Assisting the Swallow Ace into port is the Beaufort, a Dublin Port tug known for its reliability and power despite its smaller size. Named after the Beaufort Scale, a measure of wind speed used by mariners, the tug is well-suited for maneuvering large vessels through the often tricky waters of busy ports. The Beaufort is part of Dublin Port’s fleet of tugs, equipped with advanced propulsion systems and a bollard pull capacity that allows it to handle even the largest ships with precision. Its green hull and sturdy build are a familiar sight to those in Dublin Port, where it plays a critical role in ensuring safe docking and departure operations. The collaboration between the Swallow Ace and Beaufort highlights the intricate teamwork required in maritime logistics, where vessels of vastly different sizes work together to keep global trade flowing smoothly.
This moment at Dublin Port marks the culmination of a long journey for the Swallow Ace, which has navigated thousands of nautical miles to deliver its cargo of vehicles to European markets. The overcast sky and calm waters of the port create a serene backdrop for this industrial ballet, with the Beaufort carefully nudging the car carrier into position. For Dublin, the arrival of such ships is a testament to its importance as a trade gateway, while for the crews of both vessels, it’s another successful leg in the complex web of global shipping. The Swallow Ace will soon unload its cargo, likely a mix of Japanese and Asian-manufactured cars, before preparing for its next voyage, while the Beaufort continues its tireless work, ready to assist the next ship entering or leaving the port.
