The “Giglio”, named after the island of the Tuscan Archipelago, is the newest bunkering tanker of the D'Alesio Group's fleet. She is one of the now rare ships built in Italy, at the Giacalone Shipyard in Mazara del Vallo.
Here the tanker is feeding fuel oil to the ferry “Moby Corse”, with her distinctive bunch of cartoons.

This seems very interesting trip on the cruise.
Another place that I went to visit
Maybe you explained it in an earlier post, but why is the ship covered with cartoons?
That is cool. So glad you captured them.
Very interesting. I guess I never thought about where ships get their fuel. Thanks for the new word bunker/ing.
Love that first shot. Looks like a winter sky, almost a snow sky.
I would love to go inside there,the Giglio looks small near the Moby! :)
I love those decorations!
Wonderful pictures!

The Giglio looks very chic compared to the very flamboyant Moby Corse ;-D
I love them!
This bottom image is so cool with that ominous sky.
The sky does add a lot of drama to the second photo. I do like the colorful ship, it looks quite festive.
Great title, VP!
I didn't know Giglio was an island! I once had a student with the last name Giglio so now I'm wondering if his family came from there.
