FJORD

Fjord seen here leaving the Port of Tyne - outbound for Rotterdam on 29th May 2008. Photographed from Tyne Street, North Shields (North East England).

After a lay by in the Tyne owing to unsuitable sea conditions to discharge her load - Ice Maiden 1 (ex-Paardeberg) - IMO 9056894, she headed for the calmer and deeper waters of Rotterdam for the unload. Ice Maiden 1 was then be towed back to the Tyne for her conversion to a Floatel - however the Ice Maiden 1 lies in the Tyne with all work stopped as its owners went bust!
