The VLCC's Houston and Desimi alongside each other in Scapa Flow, Orkney transferring Crude Oil.
The weather hasn't been too nice the last week which prevented them coming together earlier.
Some great light in-between the frequent showers.
Houston is 333m long and Desimi is slightly shorter at 300m, both 60m beam.

Notice there is no name. We saw her going out on trials. I suspect Red Funnel will have a more imaginative name than "Redjet 6" when he is handed over.
I think she is twice the size of earlier Redjets.
This photo from 2012 was taken during one of our Channel crossings, probably on the way to Alderney from the Solent. I cannot find a record of the ship in the Marine Traffic database. She hs probably been sold, reflagged and renamed.

Hercules was built in 1907 by John H. Dialogue and Sons, of Camden, New Jersey. She was built for the Shipowners' and Merchants' Tugboat Company of San Francisco, as part of their Red Stack Fleet. After completion, Hercules was sailed to San Francisco via the Straits of Magellan with her sister ship, Goliah, in tow.
For the first part of her life, Hercules was an oceangoing tug. Because of the prevailing northwest winds, sailing ships often employed Hercules and her sisters on journeys north up the coast from San Francisco. For example, in 1916, Hercules towed C.A. Thayer to Port Townsend, Washington. On return trips back down the coast, Hercules often towed log rafts of Pacific Northwest timber, to Southern California mills. At other times, Hercules was employed towing barges to other ports on the West Coast and to Hawaii, and in transporting equipment for the construction of the Panama Canal.
In 1924, Hercules was acquired by the Western Pacific Railroad. For her new owners, she worked shuttling railroad car floats across San Francisco Bay from Oakland and Alameda to San Francisco. She worked in this role until 1957, when she was replaced by the diesel-powered train ferry Las Plumas. Hercules was kept in a stand-by role to the new ferry until 1961.
The California State Park Foundation acquired Hercules in 1975, and the National Park Service took over her restoration in 1977. In 1986 she was designated a National Historic Landmark. She is now one of the exhibits of the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park and is to be found moored at the park's Hyde Street Pier.
Hercules from the TV show Tugs is based on this vessel. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hercules_(1907)

This is an image that I designed that looks like a painting in the past.
Sunda Kelapa is the first port in the city of Jakarta, which was established by the kingdom of Netherlands long time ago. That time the dutch has colonize the Indonesian people. This port was used as the distribution of goods are taken from the Indonesian and than sent to Europe.
As shown in the photo above, the ships are still use to transport goods to other islands in Indonesia. But many ships that have been reproduced by following the same old style.
