Yarmouth, Nova Scotia is rather a long way from Malta, so her repairs held up great, hope the metal eating pigeon doesn't attack again.

Marine Traffic showing Seaspan Lahore anchored off Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. Site indicates ship destination as Saint John...?

Yes csaba, the way the pigeon is positioned , it looks like she had quite a meal...I wonder if such metal eating pigeons are being trained and sent by ship repair yards, a novel way to attract business.

If she sustained engine failure whilst alongside at Piraeus on 27/6, the engine failure could have been of driving the engine with an unbalanced prop due to the blade/s chipped up does causing vibration and therefore damage to the driving machinery.
thanks David, any more info will be appreciated.

Not sure whether the propeller damage was caused at the same time, but she was towed to Malta as a consequence of "engine failure" sustained 27/6 while alongside at Piraeus container terminal. No greater detail found.

No, I don't know the cause, touched bottom maybe?
Could you wire the homing pigeon into the nav system? Save some money.... You never know.

Could be Steven, maybe it is a homing one and somehow navigated the SEASPAN LAHORE to Palumbo's shipyard.These homing pigeons are great navigators.
Do you happen to know the cause of the accident Steve?

Hi Volker, maybe I am mistaken, the bird is not a pigeon but a woodpecker or more appropriately a brasspecker.

Is the pigeon working for the contractor? Just joking.

Damage occurred on June 27 in Piraues. The tug Christos XXII towed the vessel out of port on June 29, bound to Malta, after unloading.
