22nd March 2012 and the Bay was full of ships, from an Ore Carrier and Tug thru’ to the FFG Lubeck F214 and 2 x SAN Valour Class Frigates captured as the sun rose. Now who said getting up early in the morning was hard?!

to my view, it looks like a tanker.
Can anyone confirm if it is a bulk carrier?

Tankers and ore carriers often look very similar - look for a lot of piping on the weatherdeck or large hatches to distinguish them.

i know yes...hence me thinking its a tanker, as tankers usually has a crake in the mid-ships (as the one in the bay), not bulk carriers...witch have visible hatch COVERS on deck... :wink:
