This is either Fairmount Fjell or her sister ship Fairmount Fjord, two heavy lift ocean-going barges. Both were at Malta Shipyards in Valetta in about 2005, where they were converted into self-propelled vessels (so they no longer needed to be pulled by tugs). The two were similar but not identical; I can't tell which is which from this photo (I think the refit added a rear tower, and did some other major changes too, in addition to the new engines). Fairstar is now called en:Fairmount Heavy Transport, so these vessels were later called Fairstar Fjord and Fjell. -- Finlay McWalter (talk) 20:37, 16 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
