[B]update:[/B] ok. Learned a bit more. Stena Primorsk is just too wide.

She was at Bayonne Dry Dock & Repair Corp, then swung around at the anchorage until recently, and that every 8-day run to haul bacon fat, I mean, Bakken oil is now barged down the safe and normal way, so no tug & barge has to worry about having to pass the fat lady up the Hudson River Foodway Corridor (MARAD’s new initiative!!! hooray!).
Looks like Stena Primorsk is just leaving St. Johns to come back to NY, according to the University of the Aegean and 
MarineTraffic:heart:.
And, the Hudson really IS a river.
Pretty cool!
