Stolt Skua

Here are the forward mooring station crew of the Stolt Skua. Stolt is the Swedish (Scandinavian) for proud, and the boys on deck certainly looked happy at any rate when I stuck the camera out the bridge window and waved to them.
A Skua is a type of seabird and comes from Faroese skúgvur and the island of Skúvoy is famous for it’s Skua colony.

The Stolt Skua was built in 1999 and had the name Bow Wave before. She is registered in George Town, the capitol of Guyana, according to the Shipping Association of Guyana there were 3 ships registered in Guyana and the above wasn’t mentioned but they did have a disclaimer about information being accurate at time of collection. She doesn’t even get a mention on Stolts homepage, so she must be a fairly new addition. Stolt are one of the leading chemical tanker operators in the world .

Behind the Stolt Skua is the Happy Falcon, and below we see her going alongside.
