The much traveled Atlantic Progress arrives Friday morning for Nirint Shipping. To my knowledge it is the first time the ship has called in Halifax, but it has operated in this area under six different names.
It was built as Atlantic Pride by Jianjiang Shipyard in 2000, and the next year became Seaboard Rover before reverting to its original name in 2002. In 2005 it became Seaboard Chile II for another two years. In 2007 it took up a charter with Fednav as Federal Pride. Under that name it was a frequent sight on the St.Lawrence and into the Great Lakes carrying break bulk and bulk cargoes.
Then in 2010 it was sold by original owners Pontium Pro Nav Panama (managed by Athena Marine Co Ltd of Limassol) to Intership Navigation Co Ltd, also of Limassol under the management of Hartmann Project Lines of Germany. From 2010 to 2013 it carried the name HAL Pride. It then adopted its current name.
I first saw the ship on the St.Lawrence River as Federal Pride.

In 2008, upbound on the St.Lawrence in ballast with its portable tween decks stowed on deck just forward of the deckhouse.
