Hi Steve,
Just been for a pint on the Law top , overlooking the Piers and i heard that there is a shipment due next friday of , listen to this ;-

60,000 tons of coal , i said "er it must be two ships due in onn the same day" but no it is not , it is going to the biggest load of coal to come into the Tyne in one go!!!  

According   to the PTA movements the JIN HE is due in , and the agents are Dan Shipping , who are the agents for all coal imports.

Worth keeping an eye out for this one mate!!

Oh by the way this is my 100 th post , I am a very long way behind you thou Steve


Hi Brian

Well that's what happens when you discuss things in a pub  :pint:
The Jin He will certainly beat the previous 'heaviest Bulker' record for the Port of Tyne which was previously held by the Maddelena D'Amato (IMO 9225196) - see this photograph of her inaugural visit - http://www.shipspotting.com/modules/myalbum/photo.php?lid=370893

Jin He is 77,250 DWT and the Maddelena D'Amato is 74,716.

Hi Bruce

Well I've yet to see a RN Warship sending out an AIS anywhere close to the Port of Tyne - I'll take a specific look this afternoon to see if we get a ping from HMS Ark Royal but my money would be on there being no signal.  :-)

Hi Steve,

The Maddelene D'Amato was only partialy loaded by the looks of that photo:-
http://www.shipspotting.com/modules/myalbum/photo.php?lid=370893

Just had it confirmed from a friend in the know:

"She is carrying the single largest cargo ever to come into the river, 60,000 tonnes of coal for Drax Power Station"

Hi All

Just as a follow up on this thread - the Paris MOU have just published te reasons for the detention of Pirgos in the Port of Tyne - total of 32 deficiencies, 6 of them serious enough to effect a detention - for the full list see and enter Pirgos into the search engine: http://www.parismou.org/ParisMOU/Inspection+Database/Basic+Search/xp/menu.3975/default.aspx

Hi All

Just to add to this thread -  the UK Marine and Coastguard Agency reported today in a Press Release dealing with detentions of foreign merchant shipping during January 2008:

Date & Place of detention: 07/01/2008 - Newcastle
Vessel Name: PIRGOS (General Cargo)
GT: 10,230
IMO No: 7924839
Flag: St Vincent and Grenadines
Company: Ribex Maritime Ltd
Classification Society: Lloyds Register of Shipping (LR)
Recognised Organisation: Lloyds Register of Shipping (LR)
Summary: 32 deficiencies in total (6 detainable). Detained because there was no effective transmission on the MF radio installation and the RT/DSC antenna was defective on Stbd VHF. The starboard lifeboat took 1 hour to lower and the port lifeboat had still not been able to be lowered by the end of the inspection. In addition the accommodation bulkhead No2 deck was corroded through and repaired with tape and the galley ventilators on Nos 1 & 2 decks were also corroded as were the bulkheads in the provisions and bosuns stores. Other deficiencies included - the fire and abandon ship drill was not according to the Safety Management System (SMS), the galley and the provision store were not hygienic and there was no hot water in the galley. It was also noted that the Master and Chief Engineer did not have their hours of rest recorded. The vessel was still detained at 31/01/2008.

Hi Steve
Looking at the list if I had been a crew member I would have jumped overboard to be safe.
Might have been kinder to just scrap her!
