SeapixOnlineDisplaying 9586 of 11102 ATHENS GLORY (2003/75484grt/81171dwt/IMO 9247766, ex-NYK ATHENA) at 299m is the largest container ship to call at Auckland. She sailed in today following an earlier call at the port of Tauranga.
Scheduled to berth on the Fergusson terminal’s new northern quay, marine pilot Nigel Meek oversaw her swing off the end of Victoria Wharf, Devonport, and luckily for me, timed it just right to co-incide with the passing of Emirates Team New Zealand America’s Cup boat “Te Aihe“ as she headed home at the end of another day’s trialling on the Hauraki Gulf.
ATHENS GLORY is owned and managed by Alevin Marine of Cyprus. Keywords: athens glory, nyk athena, te aihe, 9247766, ac75, foiling monohull, prada cup, americas cup, alevin marine, container ship, containership, shipping, auckland, new zealand, nz |
