Tanker ship VEDREY TORA in Guernsey 25/7/08

This is a tanker ship called Vedrey Tora which was anchored outside St. Peter Port harbour, Guernsey in the Channel Islands. It was here for several weeks during June and July 2008 just stopped there. It is owned by a Swedish company called Svithoid Tankers LTD and is registered in Gibralter. It is a relatively small tanker ship, this is not a super tanker by any means. I think it is one of the ships that normally deliver fuel and oil based products to Guernsey. I have added some facts about it on the video.

Waw! I was a Captain onboard during that time. She is very modern, state of the art, small tanker, which is capable to perform "dry" cargo operations (it means - sitting on the bottom without water;-)). On the road we were waiting for tide to enter St. Sampson for "dry" discharge.

Nice to hear from a (former) Captain of this ship.

was it not waiting to get a space in the harbour?

[MrBooojangles]

It would have had plenty of chances to get in as it uses our more northerly harbour called St. Sampsons which is just for our kind of loose freight like fuel, sand, coal, etc.

Engine problems?

[MrBooojangles]

It's possible I suppose.
