Where is it from

I am attaching a photo where you can see the cars driving on and off.

Does the ship say "NYK Line" on the side? ( guessing from the visible N) They are an international shipping company. Perhaps those are cars shipped from the States for sale in Aruba? Just a guess.

Don't know about the NLK? We need Setar to put a "pan" function on the cam.

I had similar thoughts about car imports, but in viewing the cam, there were also vehicles being driven ON TO the ferry.

In june a similar ship made a call in o'stead, might be the same one. Its a roro (roll on, roll off) named the "Pluto Leader". It's a really weird looking ship. Also in june a LNG tanker docked somewhere on island, not real thrilled about that, those things are really dangerous. Also in June the crane at the container terminal was broken so a bunch of smaller container ships with their own on board cranes made port, they are called lolo's, lift on, lift off. Pretty cool watching them come by from druif.

if we knew the call numbers/letters we could find out the ship's name

*Arubalisa* · 11-12-2010, 11:08 AM

It is docked again today...

Hi Arubalisa, what do you wanna know about the ferry?

*Arubalisa* · 11-12-2010, 07:42 PM

Hi Bully, I hope you and family are well.

I was just curious where it sails out of and what types of items it transports.
