Abort Abort Abort by Andrew Priest, on Flickr
The Australian flagged, 477 gt tug, the WAMBIRI [IMO 8515518], the biggest tug available at Fremantle Port, aborted the second attempt to bring the YASA UNITY into port in very strong winds [gusting above 70 km/h]. The WAMBIRI and the SIVTZER EAGLE had gone out through the heads a first time but then returned to the relative shelter of the Port whilst waiting for the YASA UNITY to come around for her second attempt at entry. The WAMBIRI had just cleared the heads when the pilot called an abort [you can see the YASA UNITY in the background]. Following this abort, the WAMBIRI raced back to the safety of her berth, and the pilot was picked up in the lee of Rottnest Island, and the arrival of the YASA UNITY was rescheduled for the next morning.
Apologies for the quality of the photo: I shot through my windscreen. The weather on South Mole was not conducive to photography in the elements.
The WAMBIRI was built in 1986 and is one of five tugs forming the local Svitzer Australia fleet. Svitzer Australia Pty Ltd manages her.
Rough duty. Escorting a cruise ship departing Port of Miami.
Z10C [Ocean Shield] by Andrew Priest, on Flickr
Z10C is one of at least two Norsafe RIBS (possibly a Magnum 850) deployed from the Australian Border Force cutter, the Ocean Shield.
The Ocean Shield was in Fremantle Port on September 18, 2017, when the Z10C and another RIB were operating in the harbour.
Taken back when I was a teenager on an excursion on the Hudson River in my 14' boat. 60+ years ago!

Exploring the Avon National Park, July 2004, as part of a group of bushwalkers from the Perth Bushwalkers Club. We came across this sign as we left the area ... whoops
