Nordic Svenita.
This and a few other images of the Crude Oil Tanker taken at the time were captured on the 2nd August 2005 which was the only date that I saw this vessel. She was built in 1997, had a gross tonnage of 58269 Tons and when I saw her was Registered in the Bahamas. An Internet search undertaken in June 2021 reveals that she was scrapped in 2018 after 21 years in service. The image was captured from Calshot and shows Nordic Svenita being assisted by the Tug Silex as she heads down Southampton Water towards the sharp turn at Calshot and into the deep water (Thorn Channel) in the Solent.
