Designed by Joubert/Nivelt and built in aluminium by the OCEA Shipyard, Sables-d’Olonne, this 32m Super Yacht is custom-built. With its retro lines and Art Deco-style interior, it combines private and charter use. (Presumably you can charter it when the owner is not using it.)
PAOLYRE has a maximum speed of 18.0 knots and a range of 4 000 nautical miles at 10 knots. Accommodation for 10 guests in 4 staterooms

As Mega yachts go, Bread is pretty impressive. Reportedly owned by a major North American bakery Owner, Bread was built in Ontario, Reworked in Florida, and is now back on her way to the lakes.
Very modern, She seams to suffer from an identity crisis of wanting to be both a sailing yacht, or a Steam yacht. (See Amazon (Number 10) for an example of an actual period Yacht of this type)
Bread is Tied up next to EcTug, if you want to go have a look. Shipfax has more history on her.
A reader was kind enough to send me some photos of the Blue Putties in the graving dock in Boston.
Having completed her FELEX refit, HMCS Montreal has spent the last few days on Workups. Montreal is the third Ship to go through the FELEX process, and was returned to the Dockyard back in September. She now Joins Halifax And Fredericton as being complete, and on to workups.
Montreal was used as the test vessel for the cyclone, so she likely carries the modifications for this Helo, as does Halifax. Fredericton retained the Seaking layout, though likely had the deck strengthened.
Today brought the return of the herring fleet. The end of may marks the return of the Seiners to the Halifax Waterfront every year. Today 5 vessels arrived, and all are regular members of the fleet.
Siesmic Support vessel Mainport Pine Returned to Halifax just after noon. She will likely take on supplies, and head back out to join the fleet.
I Recived an email this morning form a reader who noticed the BluePutties in Drydock in Boston.
In the past, Marine Atlantic work has been done in the NovaDock at Halifax shipyards, however I have heard that the Nova Dock is having some sort of issue and is not serviceable. It may also be that the shipyard does not have capacity given its renovations, Final work on the Hero Class, and Ongoing FELEX Work.
Davie in Quebec Has a Drydock large enough, however I belive it is occupied by newbuilds/and or the Louis St Laurent.

The Products Tanker NCC Rabigh anchored in the basin last week, presumably to wait her turn at Imperial Oil. Owned by National Chemical Carriers, which is part of Bahari, the Saudi National Shipping Company, she is typical of the tankers that have been tying up at the terminal lately.
She was built in 2007 in Ulsan South Korea.
