The next tender: Fosen Namsos Sjø (FNS) is back at Flakk-Rørvik

As we are approaching the end of an 8-year tender, Fjord1 and my dear Korsfjord is about to complete her contractual orders.

We - the family of CaptainsVoyage - followed the ship even before I departed for Poland to pick her up, and bring her home to Norway, and our member Tom in Bergen, got the very first images of the ship in Norway, when we made a small detour under Askøybroen to meet up with him - in the middle of the night.

Then, what a memorable, ice-cold night when we arrived at Molde in the darkness. Several members of the CVF family came to greet the ship a warm welcome to Norway.

Now, with only months to go, I will still be dedicated to perform my very bestow my ability in my capacity as one of her Captains, until the tender is up. As it seems right now, I will be signing off the K for the last time on December 18th 2018.

The previous thread can be seen her: http://www.captainsvoyage-forum.com/...-rørvik-thread

But as that tender now draws towards a close, I open this new thread to follow what will be going on onwards. Note however, only information official to the general public will be shared, no company secrets.

I have shared these images in the previous thread, but I think it would be suitable to start with the start here as well.

These are the images taken on the day when the first hull came to Myklebust Yard for final fitting out and completion, the Lagatun. The date was March 15th 2018.

A last one of LAGATUN: probably the first images of the ship in Norway (as I know of at least), and another cool fact is that I was (probably) the first one from Flakk-Rørvik to actually, personally lay eyes on the ships in Norway.

I just updated my bLOG with a a post too:

Honest to my heart, it was completely COINCIDENTALLY, but as the second ferry - the MUNKEN - arrived, I was in the nearby town of Ålesund for some personal engagement.

Being so close to the yard, and knowing the ferry was arriving, I could do nothing but go there to have a "looksie"...

These are the images from the arrival of the second ship, the Lagatun.... the date in my calendar was May 31st 2018:

These were all taken through a 600mm and a 1200 mm lens, and the heat in the air is very apparent:

These images may not be of interest to many, but not knowing yet what my future holds, they may very well still document my anticipation for the next tender.

Then, I naturally also opted to do some Seagull shots of the ship to get that "extra special shots" of the ship that nobody else had, would have:

This is the Lagatun, which arrived several months earlier:

Also to be noted, the tugboat FRIGGA was also the tug which brought LAGATUN home all the way from Poland:
