I was sent a photo of a VS 490 the other day but for some reason was unable to get it into my filing system, however I looked back in my records, and found one. While we might have sympathy with the captain of this vessel "The Normand what?" I can hear people saying on the VHF. "It's the Normand FERKING" he will reply. And a fine ship it is. It was built in 2007 and might be the first to be fitted with a Triplex MDH system.

The photo was taken by Robbie Norman in 2010 and posted here on 23rd January 2017.
