Channel 14 (156.700Mhz) is the VHF-FM frequency reserved for users of the Puget Sound Vessel Traffic Service (VTSPS), a division of the U.S. Coast Guard. This blog describes some of what we see – and overhear on VHF Channel 14 – on Elliott Bay from our Alaskan Way apartment.

Hedvig Bulker Fuels for Japan Voyage
The Hedvig Bulker is in Elliott Bay this morning taking on a full load of fuel. The Hedvig, a 175-meter grab-fitted log bulk carrier, is owned and operated by Lauritzen Bulkers. It is a brand new member of the Lauritzen fleet, having been delivered in 2011. See http://www.lauritzenbulkers.com/. According to The Olympian (http://www.theolympian.com), Hedvig Bulker is expected to depart later today for Japan with 1.5 million board feet of Pacific Lumber and Shipping timber on board. The cargo was loaded earlier this week in Olympia, WA.
