The not-too-rusty Sea Epoch is at the Steel Bridge grain elevator today. It's a bulk freighter of Panamanian registry, built in 1998. If you want to use the Sea Epoch to transport your stuff, it'll set you back $25,000 a day.
Back in July 2002, the Sea Epoch caused a 19 tonne crude oil spill by colliding with a Panamax tanker off Singapore. The Sea Epoch hit the starboard side of the tanker Lance Naik Karam Singh, sustaining slight damage to its own bow and obviously punching a goodish hole in the tanker. Nobody was hurt, both vessels remained afloat, and Singapore sent eight anti-pollution craft to clean up the spill.
( I guess I'm a ship geek. I find this stuff fascinating. )
Next stop, probably Asia again. Dear Sea Epoch: Please avoid colliding with the Steel Bridge as you leave, 'cause that's how I get to work every day. Thanks.
