Description
The freighter is named Fri Wave and was formerly the Emily.
2007 press release......
Aberdeen Harbour Board's Assistant Harbour Master, Captain Brian Andrew, commented: "The increase in exporters, destinations and tonnage of timber over the past 18 months is very encouraging and another example of successful diversification of traffic at the port."
EnShip was the local agent for the latest consignment of timber, which was sold through Scottish Woodlands and will be processed to produce chipboard.
The forestry industry introduced shipments from Aberdeen in May, 2006 and, with four sellers now using the port, over 28,000 tonnes of logs have been handled in the first nine months of this year.
To date, logs have been sent to Finland, Norway and Sweden for production of woodpulp, and to Germany, The Netherlands and now Latvia for chipboard and similar products.

It's easy to see how they lose their loads so easily in a storm! Most interesting.

This brings back memories. My Dad worked on the docks loading pig iron on to ships around the Great Lakes when I was a kid. (Big magnets were attached to the cranes.)He would take me with him if the job was in Chicago. Cool capture.
