Welcome, Boat Friends!
Get ready to experience an extraordinary event that unfolded on June 1, 2024. In this video, you'll witness the Federal Yukon, a massive ocean-going bulk carrier, as it arrives in Duluth, Minnesota, through an impenetrable fog. You will also hear one of the loudest horn blasts from a ship, which noticeably startled many ship spectators on the pier! This 200-meter-long vessel, built in 2000, sails under the flag of the Marshall Islands and is operated by Fednav Ltd. The ship is designed to transport large quantities of bulk cargo, and in this case, it arrived to load petroleum coke at SMET dock.
Petroleum coke, often referred to as pet coke, is a carbon-rich solid material derived from oil refining. It is used in various industrial applications, including as a fuel source and in the production of steel and aluminum.
What makes this video truly unique is not just the dramatic arrival of the Federal Yukon through dense fog, barely visible as it passes the iconic Duluth Aerial Lift Bridge, but also the subsequent footage. Many hours later, once the fog had cleared, I boarded the Boat Friends boat and pulled alongside the Federal Yukon before it started loading. This allowed me to capture detailed, clear shots of the ship, providing a closer look at its impressive structure and operations.
The combination of the eerie, foggy arrival and the detailed close-ups after the fog lifted creates a captivating and dramatic viewing experience. This video is not just for ship enthusiasts but for anyone fascinated by grand engineering feats and remarkable weather phenomena.
Join me in exploring the incredible sight of this giant vessel materializing from the fog and later, in clear conditions, showcasing its enormous scale and the process before loading petroleum coke. This unique footage promises to be an unforgettable spectacle for all viewers, crossing over into various interests and genres.
Don't miss this incredible and rare event, blending the mystique of dense fog with the awe-inspiring presence of a colossal ship!
