Hello Trader Sa,

Thanks for your reply. Was the Singapore(global succes) also beached due engine failure?

Dear Trader,

Thank you alot for commenting, I sailed them and would very much care for the pictures. It's nice to see how you understand the importance of these tugs in Dutch shipping history.

Please do post the pics of the demolition, perhaps even the process.

Thanks Davidships, I saw that too. I was hoping some pictures from Trader would appear. I'm curious.

Still at Kaohsiung, but sold 11/2014 to Asian Salvage & Towage Ltd, St Vincent (reg Kingstown) and renamed SALVAGE TITAN.  Their previous tug SALVAGE GIANT (IMO 7506417) was scrapped earlier this year after 21 years with the company.

AST is part of Asian Marine Co Ltd of Kaohsiung which is a serious company, so I would think that his looks good for her future.

late reply with info about lng isabella and annabella,
1) insert into Chat reply #18 dated August 26, 2013:
isabella was handed over under own power (steam turbine with both Boilers online) on byers request off shore cadiz/spain, 16 man Crew take over the vessel, (only one engeneer with steam experience) , after safe passing gibralar street and in open Waters it was decided by now owners to safe fuels and shut down one boiler , due to lack of experience engine Crew was not able to compensate power arrangment to one Boiler only Status and additional to manage Alarm Systems as during a shut down process a lot of steam rising the engine room.
both leading into a total shut down/black out Situation.
vsl was towed to Gibraltar anchorage and engeneering specialist boarding (SIEMENS),
but vsl have to left Gibraltar anchorage due to port authorities order.
during the drifting time there was 2 towing tug around isabella - now marisa, how take the tow to Gibraltar ? latest from Gibraltar marisa was in tow by global destiny.
in this Situation and a possible reinstalation of own power it was desided to tow to cadiz off shore area for safe anchor. finally even technicians was not able to restart the Boilers and the marisa was towed to her final Destination by Global Destiny.
brgds, last man Standing on Isabella (left the vessel last with my wife)
