ARBALIST

Picture
Veteran General Cargo Ship Arbalist photographed at sea near Piraeus on 5 June 2012. 
 
The picture was taken from the stern of the Serenade of the Seas where after a full day ashore we were sat having a drink watching the Greek mainland gradually disappear over the horizon as we sailed to Santorini.

She was built in 1983 by Hakata Zosen in Japan as Yard Number 280 and is 114.65m long with an 18.2m beam and 7.67m draught. Over the years she has had a number of names including Twinflower (until 1993), Seng Wei (Until 1998), Assets Venture (Until 2003) and Kardaran Star (Until 2007).

GT = 6,788, NT = 2,982 and DWT 11,234

Propulsion consists of a MAN B&W 6L35MC engine driving a single four bladed fixed pitch propeller giving a top speed of 12 knots.

Currently I believe she is owned and operated by Successors Shipping which is based in Athens.

    My interest in ships and the sea started back in 2006 when I worked for a couple of years  on the banks of the River Mersey. I have since been on a couple of cruises around the Med and in the Far East and have started to take more interest in researching and photographing some of the ships and other vessels seen on my travels.
