BTW, according to the latest e-mail newsletter from the Port of Grays Harbor, it looks like the Silverstone Express (SE) may have been carrying new Caterpillar equipment to Russia. Read their article: “Heavy Machinery Destined for Vladivostok, Russia”.
If you look up the destination for the SE, it’s listed as RUVVO which is the UN/LOCODE for Vladivostok. So, CitizensAgainstCrime was right on the money, SE was picking up and carrying vehicles.
P.S. Thank you for the link to Siem, that was great!
The “Silverstone Express” and her sister ship the “Le Mans Express” visit Grays Harbor relatively frequently and are amazing to observe with binoculars.

I was at the Hoquiam River waterfront on May26 when the Silverstone Express began to come into view. Two tugboats and then a third met up with the ship and began to guide it along the middle of the river. As the huge ship passed in front of me, the crew and I exchanged waves. To say this ship is big or huge is an understatement. It is ENORMOUS! The people on board looked liked ants. Is it here to deliver vehicles or something else?
