I visited Liverpool briefly on Tuesday and for a few hours today.
Tuesday was very quiet with the only new ship being the Crude Oil Tanker Front Njord (IMO 9408205, GT 83805, 2009) which was moored at Tranmere.
Today Front Njord had left Tranmere but had been replaced by the Cypriot registered Chemical / Oil Products Tanker Baltic Ambition (IMO 9295347, GT 23240, 2007). Similarly Baltic Ambition will not be staying long as she is due to leave for Pembroke overnight.
Ship of the day was Princess Cruises Caribbean Princess (IMO 9215490, GT 112894, 2004) which was berthed in the river at the cruise ship terminal, Caribbean Princess is quite a regular visitor to Liverpool although I have never before managed to get there to see her. She has since left Liverpool and is on route across the Irish Sea to Belfast.
Caribbean Princess can accommodate 3080 passengers and was built by Fincantieri Cantieri Navali Italiani, Monfalcone, Italy in 2004. Her inaugural cruise was on 3 April 2004
She is 290m long with a 50m beam and 8.6m draft.
In total she has 19 decks accommodating 1,557 passenger cabins (1,105 outside and 452 inside).
Number of crew is 1200.
Propulsion consists of two fixed propellers each driven by a Siemens electric propulsion motor of 19 Megawatts maximum output. Propulsion and ship's service power is from six Siemens generators, four of 11,520 Kilowatts and two of 8,640 Kilowatts, driven by Wartsila ZA40S diesel engines, four V-16 and two V-12, respectively. Maximum Speed is 21.5 knots.
