I agree with you , as long as the Able dock is in business this thread should continue, i dont think we need a differrent thread thou, I would love to see the rail spur put in place , then we will know the cutting up is taking place!

I think this thread should be the only one about the able facilitys ,why start another one John?
Regards

PS keep the photos coming :lol:

Well if not another thread to start, maybes a renaming of this thread to Able UK TERRC. As the thread has gone beyond the start of the original topic. If you catch my drift.  :lol:

There has been video footage on ITV Tyne Tees Tonight (news) about the the decomissioning of the West Hutton Oil Rig at TERRC. The footage showed the Rig sections at TERRC, also a shot of a tractor/ lifter thingy carrying a section of beam.

Just wondering if anyone on here had seen the clip. Looks like the pictures were taken today or yesterday.


Here is the link to the footage. It is just after 8mins 40 secs into the news program. Be aware there is an advert before the news clip start.

cawky: Why do you think it will be a tight squeeze to get the clem in? Once the TR has gone they can move the others over and the clem will over hang the dock.
I think there will be another barge going in soon.

Yeah, the TR is only there for somewhere to moor, after being told to move from the Riverside due to redevelopment and was said to be out of keeping to the development. Or something like that.

I wouldn't be surprised if she joins the Princess. Or there was talk that she could be preserved down Dover way, after it was uncertain to what her future hold as talk that she could be scrapped were circulating. The Northern Echo earlier this year or last year, ran a story about a possible move to preserve her down Dover, as she used to work there.

As far as she has been in TERRC it is only been as somewhere to moor, untill another use/ location was found for her.

Could be before the Clem comes in. That is if I have read in between the lines right. Or she could be moved round. So that the ships go to the south side of the dock, with the TR in the middle between the Ghost ships and the Clem.

But I would of thought as soon as the Clem came in the cofferdam would be completed, then the draining and scrapping of the ships could take place.

Hi Jon,

I sure hope she comes before September!

The smaller tug, Forth Drummer is on the forecast 11/08/08 - 01:15 FIRM. Inbound from Burntisland to TERRC 10 berth, perhaps she is back for one of the barges?

In one way I am glad the ghost ships can now be dismantled at Able UK. Other ships can be brought to Teeside, (bringing work, therefore prosperity).The worry is, as in closing of old power stations, the disposal of waste is done not to the detriment of the environment. As to my thoughts - I hope I am proved most definately - I am wrong.  :-(

Just to get back to the Clemenceau what route do you think she'll be taking to to the Tees? The obvious would be through the channel then straight up the East coast but I imagine she'll be moving slowly and would such a large vessel moving at slow speeds cause a shipping traffic jam? Perhaps it'll be easier to take her either in the Atlantic up the West coast of Eire or through the Irish Sea then along the top of Scotland and then down the North Sea.
