"Chenan" loading Containers, Port of Tauranga, NZ [Explore 4May23]

Thought I might take a break from the landscapes that I love, and reveal some of my minor interests: ships being one of them.
I once scripted and presented a program for the ABC on the Port of Brisbane, which became indelible in my mind. My geography students explored the Port of Brisbane, then they would map the routes of ships entering and leaving the Port of Brisbane for that month. This led to lots of great dynamics and some outstanding presentations by the students.
So ships remain an interest.
This is not the Port of Brisbane but the Port of Tauranga, New Zealand.
PORT OF TAURANGA:
New Zealand's largest and most efficient port, Port of Tauranga operates an international container freight hub, bulk cargo wharves, bunkering facilities and extensive cargo storage areas.
CHENAN:
"Chenan" a general cargo vessel, was built in 1992, and is no longer in service. It was owned and operated by China Navigation Co from 2005-2017.
The small craft pictured include the yacht, "Island Bach".
SHIP ARRESTED:
On the far right, is "Lancelot V" a “handymax” sized bulk cargo carrier, which a was arrested here in Port of Tauranga on 23 June 2015. Lancelot V was owned by Orlando Shipping Co. Orlando is incorporated in the Marshall Islands. The ship was operated through Greek operators - Throne Shipping SA - who are based in Piraeus, Greece.
Of 41515 dwt, built in 1996, Lancelot V was registered in Panama. The arrest of the vessel was made at the request of the plaintiffs - Glencore Grain BV and Glencore Grain (NZ) Limited. The vessel had brought a load of bulk Bulgarian corn to New Zealand, partially unloading first at Auckland, and then here at Tauranga. Its ability to unload was gravely impaired by the failure of its cranes and unloading in both ports relied on wharf cranes. It eventually was sold and settlement reached.
