PERSEUS N waits out Weather in Bedford Basin

Products tanker PERSEUS N anchored in the Bedford Basin, Halifax  early AM on 14th Feb 2014. She arrived on the 13th and was scheduled to off-load at Tufts Cove (NS Power)  in the Narrows,but was delayed due to Easterly gale of 13/14th. That berth is exposed to Easterly winds and utilizes dolphins and mooring bouys , not a great arrangement in high winds. This is believed to be her first call at the Port of Halifax.
