Aloha George II (1980)
Pasha Hawaii’s George II (IMO 7729461) outbound from Pier 51A, Honolulu Harbor. She was assisted by P&M Marine Services tug Tiger 22 and Foss Maritime tug Mikioi.
George II was formerly named Horizon Reliance. This was the ship’s first voyage to Hawai‘i after she was converted from steam power to LNG.

It is good to see this unique girl upgraded rather than scrapped! Hopefully Horizon Spirit will receive the same treatment.
