Description:

Leaving Rotterdam for a longer period, to operate as a pipelayer in the Black Sea. Her size will probably be better shown when the shots appear of her passing Istanbul.

For this shot it was fortunate that we were blessed with some sun at the end of the day. And for those who followed the controversy about her name, a close up shot of the bow reveals that her original name has been painted out with grey paint and is still perfectly readible, with her new name painted below the old one. I personally find this quite insulting to those who uttered serious concerns about her original name.
