The classic freighter Saturn in Helsingør




I have seen the small (54 x 9,3 m) cargo vessel Saturn several times passing by in Øresund. Today, my visit to Helsingør gave me a nice opportunity to have a somewhat closer look at this classic Dutch built (1966) beauty. Seeing Saturn lie in front of the beautiful old buildings in central Helsingør, was like going back in time about half a century.

But according to the owner, the Danish shipping company Janus Andersen & Co, Saturn is still very much in active duty, carrying different kinds of loads in Denmark and neighboring areas. The company website has a few nice photos of the ship here.
