Welcome!

As of 15 Sep 2024, the T2 Tanker site has been moved to a new WordPress site that is easier to maintain and costs a lot less to host.  There will be more work done to bring as much information back to the site as I can, but I will no longer be maintaining a database-backed site as before.  I will rely heavily on Auke Visser to provide you with that kind of detail in his very well researched site: Auke Visser’s Famous T – Tankers Pages.

I began my research on the subject nearly 30 years ago, and for the first 15 of that, kept up a pretty good pace updating the database and less frequently, the site.  My efforts have waned significantly as I have pursued life, work and other interests, so I apologize if this is no longer the most edifying site on the subject.  However, I will continue to add to it and improve it as I have time and interest.

The National Bulk Carriers part of the site will be getting totally refreshed as I migrate it to the new WordPress format. In the process, I will be adding more ship photos that I have collected since the last significant update. Many old URLs have become dead, and I will attempt to locate their new locations so they can be updated on this site. I will also add new sites that provide useful information to complement what is here. To my knowledge, I am the only researcher with company information, ship information and photos available online. I consider this important to maintain as long as I am able. I recognize that many Cayman seamen have been using my site as a resource, since so many of them sailed for the company and Mr. Ludwig.

Cheers!
