The largest vessel to ever grace the Humber has been welcomed.
Maran Lupus, a 333m long oil tanker, moored at Immingham Oil Terminal this week. The crude carrier, sailing under the Greek flag, arrived on Monday morning, and is wider than the length of many vessels using the estuary, with a breadth of 60m.
She narrowly broke a record that has stood for almost 20 years, eclipsing the 332m by 58m MV Olympic Legacy, that made the same call in September 2003.
