Iver Bright - Asphalt/Bitumen Tanker - ShipspottingsteemCreated with Sketch.

This morning, Iver Bright made her way from Sarnia, Ontario, to Detroit, Michigan. She's such a pretty ship, but is technically a salty (an overseas ship), so I decided to make this a ship study instead of just a photo gallery.

Here she is coming through Marine City, Michigan, this morning.

The Sarnia Journal reported about a year ago that the Iver Bright was the perfect solution for a difficult problem - running a ship during the frozen winter of the Great Lakes. The Iver Bright has the right icebreaking capabilities that make it easier for her to handle all the ice we've been watching on the shipping cameras this winter. The coast guard stands by to ensure she doesn't get into trouble, but by and large, she can handle most of what winter can throw at her.

After Marine City, Iver Bright made it through Algonac, Michigan, now accompanied by US Coast Guard Cutter Morro Bay (106), but it sounds like she rarely needs assistance with the ice.

Iver Bright is a small ship, only 111 m (about 364 feet) in length and was only built in 2012. She is owned/operated by Iver Ships of the Netherlands, but is being leased by Suncor Energy of Sarnia, Ontario. There are more pictures of this tanker at Shipspotting.com.

I also found a couple of videos of her:

Before the shipping season slowed down for the winter, I was able to observe some of her larger fleet mates using the port in New Hampshire - also the same bright red livery. Always beautiful. The company even has a Facebook page.

Today's images are from:
StreamTime Live - Marine City, Michigan
StreamTime Live - Algonac, Michigan
The sharing of the pictures/cameras is encouraged for the education and enjoyment of all. Please take a look at these cameras on YouTube.

Note: Boatnerd also hosts shipping news, huge amounts of data about almost any "laker" and even many of the "saltie" visitors - and even a book called "Know Your Ships". I would encourage supporting his great work, especially as he has plans to add more cameras in 2021.

If you want to be tagged in future shipspotting posts, please let me know and I'll add you to this list.

This category is for when the camera operator finds something else fun to focus on, like the peregrines around Port Huron or the beautiful sunrise over Lake Superior as viewed from the Duluth Aerial Lift Bridge.
