A short drive during lunchtime today gave me the new "Maersk Nomad" at the new dock down at Vestbase.


Oh, and standing 8 meters from the bow, I just had to take the picture; "J-O View"

A short drive during lunchtime today gave me the new "Maersk Nomad" at the new dock down at Vestbase....

Very impressive view Sterkoder.
(New you say… doesn’t take long to wear off that nice blue paint does it!)

(New you say… doesn’t take long to wear off that nice blue paint does it!)

Well..., never seen it myself and I belive it's her first time in Kristiansund, but I must say maybe "new" was a too strong word then. She was delivered in 2009.
I suspect the paint has been torn off due to the use of anchor.
"Maersk Nomad" is danish as anything for all interested in shipping, but a small detail; she sail under canadian flag...

Yes, the sight was impressive, because I have never been down to that brand new dock, and I only discovered there was a ro-ro dock when I came down there.
If I had left my car and walked down the ro-ro dock, I would have had the Nomads bow top almost over my head.

Is it just me, or are these OFFSHORE VESSELS the modern Viking vessels of the Scandinavians?
