Rigg.
My first thoughts when I saw the 2351 Gross Ton vessel Riga was that she was a small bulk carrier cargo ship. This view was overturned when I did an Internet search using her IMO number (8801137) when it was revealed that she was in fact officially described as a Containership. Rig was built in Portugal in 1989 and at the time this image was captured (May 2022) was Registered in Malta. She is owned and operated by Astramar Transport of Riga Latvia. The image shows Rig passing between the Reach and Black Jack navigation buoys as she leaves the Solent to motor up Southampton Water in-bound for the Port of Southampton.
