Sunrise Ray Comes to Baltimore October 17, 2020

This 146x24m (479x79ft) Liberian flagged tanker was built in 2018 by Fukuoka Shipbuilding and owned by Fair Wind Marshall S.A. and managed by Eastern Pacific Shipping PTE. LTD according to ClassNK.

While she shows up in Eastern Pacific Shipping’s Fleet List as a chemical carrier she also shows up in the Fleet List of Ace Tankers.

Looking deeper I found this Offshore Energy article indicating a company called BW Chemicals to Ace Tankers which indicated that the tankers were to join the Ace-Quantum Chemical Tankers (AQCT) Pool which is a joint venture between Ace Tankers and Eastern Pacific Shipping.

Given that ClassNK indicates this ship’s first name was BW Radon the chain of ownership now seems to be understood.

In my 9 minute video below She can be seen arriving from the Chesapeake Bay as tugs Theresa S. Krause and David M. Krause go out to greet her. The pilot boat Baltimore can be seen for those that know what to look for. As the tug Theresa S. Krause comes alongside dredging operations can be seen in the distance.
