Public AIS is a nice thing. However, it's pretty annoying when people post new threads every time a ship deviates from its normal route, not to mention bigger conspiracy theories.

Thanks to our German fellow shipspotters.

And lets hope people don't start speculate from what they see on the footage.
Maybe we should stop uploading video too, because we don't want all these stupid noobs on this forum speculating or having an opinion based on nothing.

Whahahaha


Cheers Fred

Captain Ted:
I view AIS as a source of information the same as this site provides me with information. I would like to believe that the more information that I have the more able I am to make an informed opinion. You point to the incident with the Concordia as a example of what is wrong with the information that was received in real time. So I would like to pose this question to you:

What possible reason can a Master put forward for running his vessel aground at cruising speed unless she was being beached at a breakers yard?

Good point Fred!
Wow! That was an intense fire! Looks like part of the deck is gone too!
No wonder they were concerned with stability. Wonder if she will be rebuilt? ;D

It is not the "Flinter Aland". It is the MV"Amsterdam Bridge" on fire,i think she is on Mumbai road now in India.

Kasco - there's a Dutch saying which freely translated says "The best sailors can be found ashore". FYI the "Flinter Aland" is moored in Terneuzen pending investigations on an accident which happened over the weekend. Do you ever consider how valuable your "informed opinion"  would be to the rest of the world ?

THE BADLY fire-damaged container ship MSC Flaminia and its accompanying tugs arrived safely in the German port of Wilhelmshaven

I apologize for identifying the vessel Flinter Aland and not the vessel Amsterdam Pride as the one that was on fire.

To prevent more deaths if the ship had sunk/capsized in deep water

Good evening,
here are updated news regarding "MSC FLAMINIA" at berth Jade-Weser-Port of Wilhelmshaven (Germany): After finishing investigations of public prosecutor and police re. dead and missing crewmembers, now the concept of discharge of the (partily damaged and destroyed) cargo is ready to start and published by the CENTRAL COMMAND FOR MARITIME EMERGENCIES GERMANY as follows:

"At first the superstructure of the MSC FLAMINIA will be cleaned, following a decision of
all the experts from the Central Command for Maritime Emergencies (CCME) (German:
Havariekommando), from the authorities on site and from the shipping company. Presumably
the cleaning work can start this week. It is expected to take about five days. All
cabins and areas of work in the superstructure will be cleaned thoroughly. If the area
passes the following survey of safe working conditions, it will be approved for day-today
operations.
The concept of discharge, drawn by Germanischer Lloyd, is completed. In order to ensure
the stability of the ship, containers and the water for fire-fighting are discharged in
equal measure. The containers on which an elevated temperature has been detected
have priority. After this the containers with dangerous goods are following.
Because of the surveys on board by the experts from CCME and the thorough comparison
of the loading list, the stowage plan and the list of dangerous goods the number
increased by two to 153 containers. The two additional containers contain vehicle parts
and cosmetic products.
First surveys have shown that the water for fire-fighting is less toxic than supposed. To
prove them, the results are currently assessed by some other experts.
Meanwhile also the first part of the concept of discharge for the damaged cargo is on
hand. In the first instance the appropriate containers are planned to be taken off board
in kind of a tub."

regards Peter
