Oil Tanker STELLA POLARIS

Despite the bold warning on her superstructure, the small but efficient high-heat tanker STELLA POLARIS was smokin' up the St. Lawrence as she past us by near Prescott, Ontario last weekend. Owned by Tarbit Tankers BV of the Netherlands, the 394' STELLA POLARIS was built 1999 and can carry coal tar, pitch and petroleum products up to 250°C all over the world. The STELLA, which is based in Rotterdam, was really pushing water on her way to Hamilton, Ontario when we snapped these photos.
