She looks similar to the Umiavut, this vessel Umiavut, flies the Dutch flag about 7 Months of the year, then flies the Canadian flag for the Summer months, travels from Valleyfield Quebec to the Lower Arctic Communities with supplies, its an arrangement they have with the Canadian Government, we don't have enough hulls to service the Lower Artic, we have to improvise, this is one way, we also have foreign tankers that have special permits to haul within Canadian Waters.
http://www.shipspotting.com/modules/myalbum/photo.php?lid=311188 seen here under Canadian Flag, and Montreal as her home port.

Your absulutly right, she is a siter of the Umiavut wich is also in Amsterdam and will leave for canada next monday!

Three super shots of this one.
They only make rare appearances in my local ports!
Hope you did not drive to fast, I know to my cost this does not amuse the Dutch Police!

Derek

Hi Derek,

Thank you very much, I drive a Volkswagen Transporter for my work so racing is still not to fast! A motorbike would be faster!

regards

2nd-mate

The motorbike is only used to chase ships.
The rest of the time I drive slowly!

Hi Derek,

That's the best way to chase ships, I drive a GSX-750R my self, what kind of two wheel horse do you have?

regrads

2nd-mate

It is a Honda 650NTV shaft drive.
Not to fast but very reliable.
I use it most days if I can to travel to work.
67 miles round trip everyday!
Bike has nearly 108,000 miles on the clock now and still going strong. Only had it 8 years!
Plans to motorcyle again in Holland some day.
Did it many times when I was younger!

When you are in Holland come to Amsterdam, your more then welcome!

Nice shots of this L-type Spliethoff, 2nd-mate. Pekka (msvnordica) will be pleased.
Regards,
Michael

Thank you Michael,

I had to race to make a picture of her so I hope Pekka likes it, and I will send my speed ticket to Kotka! 8-)

regards

2nd-mate

Of course I like it, really a great sunny view! Only a bit sad it looks to be her last voyage as LOOTSGRACHT. But it´s good she will continue in Spliethoff´s holding!

Hi Pekka,

I am glad you like it, according to somebody from the Spliethoff office we can also get some more E-types this year for there drydock survey! Hope that my favrotie two Eems and Edison also come!

regards
