I think the situation whereby ships can "park" anywhere around the coast they like is somewhat of a grey area. For instance the area known as MARGATE ROADS is, I've been told  open for all and only limited by size of vessel, you can "park" there even without telling anybody you are there. The last time I looked yesterday there were 16 there and not 1 appeared on the POLA list. The coastguard would not necessarily know they are there either.

ADVENTURE II and CHALLENGER II sound like two of the Britannia Bulk fleet, the parent company of which has been put into administration (see various previous posts). Although administrators sometimes try to continue trading where they can see value in it, I don't think this applies to Britannia. Expect to see the whole fleet of over 20 vessels names ending in 'II' being laid up and sold.

I am not sure if they are a "proper" part of the Britannia Bulk fleet as they both have different owners but there is a connection:
Both of these ships are managed by Svendborg Ship Management Denmark.
Britannia has 2 registered offices, one of which is at the same address as Svendborg Management

Maybe a lot of these ships are anchored awaiting berths when the holidays are over, i.e the Berge Atlantic & Nord Steel

PIETARI BRIGHT was shown due to lay-up on Falmouth web-site but is no longer shown as booked.I am unsure if teh booking was cancelled or if she has now laid up ?.

She's hiding just round the corner.
At the moment lying about 1 mile off Porth Mellin.
Others in that area include Green Tromso, showing Falmouth 31/12 at 10:00
Excelsior, destination Mounts Bay anchorage; Sanko, destination Houston, ETA 30/12/08 06:00 (doesn't look like they are serious about that!).
And the tug Janus, also showing Falmouth as destination 17/12

Perhaps PIETARI BRIGHT finds it more comfortable round the corner. The Manacles rocks off the Helford are an unpleasant place to drag your anchor onto in a brisk Easterly wind.
The Falmouth movements yesterday showed her due upriver on Monday morning. Since then all Monday information has been removed, so she is probably still due then.

as of 29 Dec 2008...


on the anchorage of the port of Gdansk, Poland
the "open type" (wide hatch) bulk carrier Hamburg Way (IMO 7931832)
is anchored since 16 Dec 2008
earlier (2008.11.18 - 2008.12.16) the ship was under repairs at Remontowa shiprepair yard in Gdansk
it seems to be at least a short term laid-up until they find employment for the ship...


at Remontowa SA two mono-hull fast ferries SuperSeaCat Three (IMO 9141871) and ...Four (IMO 9141883)
seem to be laid up...
they arrived to Gdansk on 18 and 15 Oct 2008 respecdtively and they were expected to leave before the end of December...
meanwhile, probably the specification of repairs was expanded, but seemingly not enough to keep the ships that long at the yard...
both ships were at some point declared to be staying at the yard until Dec 31, and several days ago both ships were declared to be departing on 31 March 2009...


sometimes choosing a small repair company with limited resources ("shipyard without docks") and relying also on ship's crew or shipowners "flying repair squad", thus making normal repairs extremely long, may also be regarded as some kind of lay-up...
chemical tanker Anitra (IMO 8513364) is moored at one of the Dalmor company quays in the port of Gdynia, undergoing alongside repairs, already since 01.10.2008...


quays of Dalmor have been often used as lay-up berths for several ships over several recent years, including long period lay-ups (eg. 1 or 2 years), including such ships as Antarctica ( http://www.shipspotting.com/modules/myalbum/photo.php?lid=733685 ) in these periods:
2006-08-10 - 2006-10-04 - 55 days
2006-04-28 - 2006-07-18 - 81 days
2006-03-24 - 2006-08-04 - 133 days
2006-01-23 - 2006-03-07 - 43 days
2002-04-24 - 2004-03-17 - 693 days


currently (as of end of Dec 2008), the following ships seem to be laid-up at Dalmor's quays:
- Fair One (IMO    8104307) - since 24.11.2008 (quite a long period as for loading or discharging such a small coaster)...
- Alert (IMO 7404176)
2008-10-09 - 2008-11-20 - 42 days
2008-02-06 - 2008-09-21 - 228 days
it seems to be a ship from the same company as Antarctica
- Sentinel (IMO 7106877)
it also seems to be the ship of the owners of Antarctica


I do not know exactly - since when, but I think for a couple of weeks now, the geared bulkcarrier Proikonissos (IMO ) has been anchored off Baltijsk / Kaliningrad, quite long distance from shore, with "Destination: Orders" declared on AIS (I understand it waits for orders of employment)
(currently at a position of 54
despite using "polsteam" for my nick I have NO personal (professional) or business connections with the company of the same name

Current situation in River Fal, Pietari Glory, Autoline, Autocarrier and Windsor Castle currently moored in the river, with Pietari Bright expected to lay up on Monday morning, Pietari Cliff on Tuesday morning. Also Palma is still expected to lay-up. Pietari Bright spent Saturday sheltering in Mount's Bay off Mullion.

Thanks for update and I wondered how many ships could be taken in lay up moooings there now if two (or three ?) abrest after the mussel farm has taken some of the space. Also do you think the Carrick Roads could be used ?

The Baltic Business News On-line reported PIETARI BRUIN was recently detained in Estonia with PIETARI CLIFF and PIETARI BRIGHT. I wondered if she had also come across with the other two when they were released  ?
