As I was getting ready to leave Port Huron, I saw that there was a ship pulling out of the Sarnia grain elevator. I was going to head home but I decided to head downriver to catch her.
I ended up catching her in Marysville. There was a festival there and I almost didn't get parking spot.
The Exeborg is owned by Wagenborg out of the Netherlands. She is a Dutch flagged ship registered in Delfzul.
She was built at the Niestern Sander Shipyard which is in the Northern Netherlands.
It's amazing that other developed countries can still build ships and we in the United States struggle with it. Maybe it's not so much struggle as the vulture capital bros can't make as much money as they think they should.
As a result, our shipbuilding capacity is struggling and that is starting to hurt in maintaining our Navy. There isn't enough shipyard space to maintain our Navy vessels.
Something needs to give.
Anyway, I guess she was probably loading grain in Sarnia.
Her destination reads as IEORC, which I believe is Cork, Ireland.
At any rate, like the other ships of her fleet, she looks nice.
One more shot.
