Hi, Peter!  If you go here & look at the capture dates there are some still sailing, like this one - http://www.shipspotting.com/gallery/photo.php?lid=1634293.
Actually, maybe someone could come up with an easier way of tracking down them all?

Regards,
Denis

Hi Simon,

Thank you for the updates, it would be a very nice sight to see the 1971 built HONG BO 3 if she still is around.

Brgds,
Geir

[humbersmith]

Hello Geir,

It would be nice to think that HONG BO 3 is still going but I have my doubts. The AIS transmissions are very sporadic. Her breaking was reported in Marine News Feb 2010 and I have seen no port movement reports since. The last Chinese crew records I can find on Goole are for September 2009. It is not uncommon for demolished vessels to appear on occasional rogue AIS transmissions.on


Cheers
Simon

[Geir Vinnes]

Hi Simon,

Thanks for the explanation, I have also seen some ships on AIS that I tought had been broken up so I guess the chances to see HONG BO 3 is small, but we can always hope  .
Thanks for the link Bjørn.

Brgds,
Geir

Perhaps it is as well if HONG BO 3 is no more:  her last port state inspection at Xiamen in Oct 2009 led to detention with 11 defects, including hull-cracking, corrosion of hatchcovers, beams, frames, floors, bulkheads and hull; and problems with survival craft and rescue boats aws well as firefighting.  Oh and something wrong with the main engine also.  Only three months earlier she had been detained at Qinzhou.

Whatever was showing up as HONG BO 3 earlier this year was at Baima (NE of Fuzhou) 10/2-10/7, passing W of Taiwan the following day, heading directly south towards the Philippines.  ETA was given as 13/10 at San Du Ao, near Baima.  Looks more like a fishing vessel on a 3-month trip.

Also:
DAE SAN (IMO 7614733) Don't know what the casualty at Duqm was, but she subsequently arrived at Salalah, and sailed eastwards in late August.

Hi Bjørn,

Thats the chemical tanker HONGBO NO. 3 with Imo. 8401743.
I guess David is right, she was in a bad condition and has most likely been broken up as reported, but it would be very nice to see her if she was still around  .

Brgds,
Geir

[Phil English]

Geir,

In fact, it isn't. There are two distinct AIS transmissions, one from Hongbo No. 3 (IMO 8401743) and one from Hong Bo 3 (IMO 7104180). There are also separate MMSI numbers

IMO 7104180 is actually transmitting today with the following info:
