Bulk carrier Davakis D and trawler Valery Dzahaparidze in the Sound

The Bahamas registered single deck bulk carrier Davakis D (190 x 45m) passed Helsingør this afternoon on its way to Klaipeida, Lithuania. The ship, built in China in 2008, is one of ninety in the Athens based Enterprises Shipping and Trading S.A. fleet.


The name of the ship has a somewhat sad history, according to the ESTSA web site:

The 6th vessel was named Davakis G after a company’s late employee who, very
unfortunately and unexpectedly, lost his life two years ago during his sleep. George Davakis
was in his early 30’s at that time.


The next ship passing by was the Russian fish factory/trawler Valery Dzahaparidze (104 x 16m). The trawler  is on its way to Kaliningrad.

PS

Here are two more freighters, which passed Helsingør/Helsingborg this evening:

The Bahamas registered bulk carrier Kent Tenacious (180 x 28m) on its way to Skaw. 

The bulk carrier Sandnes (166 x 24m) was heading for Copenhagen
