This month, we are focusing on the top five choices of different vessel types below:
The Great Eastern is an oil/chemical tanker, sailing under the flag of the Marshall Islands. Here, she is spotted at Saint John, Canada’s third largest port by tonnage. Saint John is also known for the Reversing Rapids: a series of whirlpools and waves that are created as the high tides of the Bay of Fundy collide with the Saint John River.
The vessel’s carrying capacity is 37,515 t DWT, and according to AIS, she has been mostly cruising the East Coast of the US and Canada.

Tug Boats are small yet powerful vessels which are used to pull or push other large ships for manoeuvring or other purposes.
The Lynx was built in 2018 and since then she has operated mostly in Northern Europe. More specifically, the 28-metre tugboat has been in Finland, Sweden, Germany and the Netherlands – whose flag is currently flying.

Spotted in the Hamptons, Viva is a 94-metre yacht sailing under the flag of the Cayman Islands. Although Viva is only one year old – built in 2021 – she has managed to sail from the Carribean Sea to the East Mediterranean and the US coast.
Among the favourite destinations of the superyacht include the Netherlands, the US, Sin Maarten, Greece and Spain.

The Federal Frontier is a bulk carrier that was built in 2021. Her carrying capacity is 34,492 t DWT with a length of almost 200 metres.
Here, the bulk carrier is spotted at the port of Sunderland. The port’s history can be traced as early as the 1590’s when Sunderland was known to be exporting coal.

Norwegian Jade is a 294-metre long cruise ship flying the Bahamas flag. She is currently cruising in East Mediterranean, in the Ionian Sea following, a trip from Turkey.
Over the past month, she has spent 56% of her time underway, which translates to 17 days en route, travelling with an average speed of 14.5 knots – based on AIS data.
