7/26 - Le Havre, France. May 8/09 - Paul Beesley
Crude oil tanker Aegean Freedom leaving LeHavre. She was built in 2003, is 244 m (800 ft) long and has deadweight tonnage of 106074. Not an overly large ship by today’s standards.	Trailing suction hopper dredger Barent Zanen off the French coast.	Trailing suction hopper dredger Ham 317 off the French coast. 4.	One of the locks in Le Havre. This lock is to overcome the tides in the harbor and gives access to a basin. You can see the height of high water in the lock. Tides here are very large, over 8 m (26 ft) at spring tides.	Trailing suction hopper dredger La Heve in the lock at Le Havre. The La Heve is 70 m (230 ft) long and 12.8 m (42 ft) wide so the lock is a good size.
There is a buoy depot here, and this large buoy is sitting on the dock. I suspect it is/was used to replace a light ship somewhere.	Two of LD Lines ferries passing in the harbor. As you can see the harbor is busy. There were over 20 ships in the anchorage this day.	Ferry Norman Spirit leaving her dock en route to England. Again, notice the tide marks around the harbor.	Ferry Norman Voyager backs into her dock. The trip from Le Havre, France to Portsmouth, UK takes a mere 5-1/2 hours.	A small buoy tender at the base.
Ramona, a small tanker, one of many ships anchored off Le Havre.	Pilot boats in Rouen, which is right across the harbor from Le Havre; which has its own pilot boats.	The two tugs that assisted the Aegean Freedom out of the harbour. They appear to be racing home for coffee, the one on the left going astern.	RT Antonie at the bow of the Aegean Freedom.	Safmarine Nuba, a new container ship, inbound.
SD Gironde at the stern of the Aegean Freedom.	Vlaanderen XXI, another trailing suction hopper dredge, outside Le Havre. While searching for info about these dredges I came upon a 'dredgenerd' website, Bert Visser’s Directory of Dredgers: www.dredgers.nl	Tanker Weichselstern anchored outside. She is currently registered in the UK but operated by Rigel Schiffahrt, Bremen, Germany.
