Berlin Express on G6

Berlin Express made her second stop in Halifax, her first being July 16. At the time, I was unable to get a photo of her. As a member of Hapag Llyods Dalian Express Class, she is 7500TEU, and is Identical to Dalian Express,and Yantian Express which alse serve the G6 service.

Hapag Llyod vessels on the PAX Service range between 4000-6000TEU and are members of the Kiel Express, Kobe Express and Dallas Express Classes.

HMCS Montreal Done FELEX

HMCS Montreal is due to move from the Machine Shop Wharf to the Dockyard today at 1300. She will be the third vessel to complete the Shipyard portion of FELEX.

HMCS Charlettown is currently in the graving dock, and HMCS St Johns will take her place when she moves to the Machine Shop Wharf.

Interestingly, HMCS Halifax had the flight deck modifications for the cyclone. these do not appear to have been preformed on the Fredericton, though the deck was probably strengthened anyway.
