The tankers Petroatlantic and Petronordic are so often part of the local Moray Firth seascape that they are almost now as iconic to the town as the Fisherwifie statue or the bandstand. Sometimes they make trips up north however and are conspicuous by their absence. One of our readers, Bratach, took this image of the Petroatlantic anchored south of Lerwick in Shetland.
Just before she left for her recent voyage the Petroatlantic was parked up with three other ships off Nairn, including her sistership the Petronordic. Also just off shore was this remarkable vessel.
we used to have the odd oil tanker berthing out in the Firth, but recently we seem to have them here 24/7 is there any particular reason why ? ps, i hope for the safety and cleanliness of our beach they follow the strict maritime law regarding dumping waste products over board
