Mobil 2 - (1973-1992)
See also : Tachee - (1992-2000) & S/R Albany
Built as the "Mobil 2" by Southern Shipbuilding of Slidell, Louisiana in 1973 for the Mobil Oil Corp she is rated at 3,000
horsepower.
She was renamed the "Tachee" when the oil companies sought to remove their name from vessels that could potentially
have incidents. When she was renamed the "Tachee", an upper wheelhouse was added. After Mobil merged with Exxon to
form Sea River Maritime, the "Tachee" was renamed the "S/R Albany".
When Sea River was dissolved the "S/R Albany" was acquired by K-Sea Transportation Partners and was renamed the
"Baltic Sea".
She is assigned to K-Sea's Atlantic Division.
2011 The Baltic Sea (ex Mobil 2, ex Tahchee, ex S/R Albany) has since been sold to an African buyer and renamed
Ugonwaafor 1 and hails out of Lagos Nigeria, later renamed as Ugonwaafor. Still in service.
