The heavy lift cargo ship Svend came up the North River Monday morning, heading for the Port of Albany and arriving from Rotterdam after first calling on Portsmouth, NH. She may have been delivering some type of project cargo or perhaps loading heavy equipment manufactured up north for export, though she did show an AIS status of “in ballast” on her subsequent departure suggesting a delivery is perhaps more likely in this case. By Thursday morning she was en route to her next port of call Charleston SC.
