Call Sign 9KWP - Al Shuwaikh - Lifeboat
by Andrew Priest, on Flickr

Built in 1986, the Kuwait flagged, 18,341gt Livestock Transport livestock carrier, the Al Shuwaikh [IMO 8506361 ] alongside common user Berth C Fremantle Port on September 21, 2018.

As this is not the normal berth for livestock carriers I assume she was in port for maintenance purposes, possibly awaiting the clearing of the berth used for loading livestock ships.

Forever known in the general public as the "Captain Phillips" lifeboat. :D

by Andrew Priest, on Flickr

GUEPRATTE [Frigate, F714], 3,600 gt, 125m loa, was commissioned in 2001. She sails under the French flag and is the final build in a series of five La Fayette-class frigates. He [the French refer to their ship as a he] was photographed alongside C Berth on May 20, 2016. No other information has been found on his visit.

According to the French navy website, the GUEPRATTE is "designed primarily to preserve and uphold the interests of the state to the maritime areas overseas and participate in crisis settlement outside Europe, leading warship is also likely to be integrated into a naval air force. It may well be asked to provide support for an intervention force or the protection of commercial traffic and perform special operations or humanitarian missions."

According to Wikipedia, the GUEPRATTE is the only frigate of the La Fayette class whose complement includes women, with 25 female crewmen on board. In January 2016, the first female commander of a frigate in the Marine Nationale was appointed to command Guépratte. In 2016, Guépratte deployed as part of the Jeanne d'Arc battle group.
