MERSEY SPIRIT

Coastal bunkering tanker Mersey Spirit photographed in Liverpool Docks. I first saw her at the end of November 2010 when she was the Swedish registered Onyx.

Before becoming Mersey Spirit in 2013 she has had a number of names including Ilona Theresa (1996), Densa Gundem (1996), Jetta Theresa (2002) and Onyx (2007).

On 16 May 2012 as the Onyx she was detained in Liverpool for a total of eleven deficiencies including one grounds for detention. At the time she was one of twelve non-UK flagged vessels detained in UK ports.

The vessel was detained because there  were a number of deficiencies which were objective evidence of a serious  failure  or lack of effectiveness of implementation of the ISM code on board the vessel.

Annual surveys had not been carried out for International Air Pollution  Prevention, International Oil Pollution Prevention, Load Line, Cargo Ship Safety  Construction, Cargo Ship Safety Equipment and Annual Class Survey.

Other  deficiencies included the bow thruster ventilation pipe was corroded through in several sections; the Civil Liability for Bunker Pollution Certificate was  missing and the rescue boat searchlight was not approved.

She was sold by her then owner Herning for $3.50m in 2007.

    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.
