Fredericia Shipyard Dock 1 on her way to Turkey.
« on: August 08, 2010, 03:30:05 PM »
Here today 08/08-2010 is a day of mourning for an otherwise very proud shipyard town Fredericia. Fredericia Shipyard Dock 1 left here Sunday afternoon the city's proud shipyard to go out on a journey down to Besiktas Group family yard just south of Istanbul. Dock 1 which has been completely renovated, "however lacking some new paint" is to be used as Repair dock at Besiktas new shipyard only a few years old.
There were greeted so many people up to take leave of the dock and you could clearly feel and hear the people that it was with great shame that we now see the shipyard move to Odense Lindo, but we can unfortunately only thank our dear old town council for that.
On the tour that goes around Skagen to the English Channel,there comes one more tug to assist aft, it will follow  through the English channel, Biscay Bay and around the Strait of Gibraltar then Carlo Martello continues alone the rest of the way through the Mediterranean up to Turkey .
There are under the whole trip five men onboard the dock to fit generators and pumps etc, they were equipped with food and drink and residential container.
Eta for the dock and the tug is 08/09-2010 at the Turkish shipyard.

Boring day for a ship photographer to see how your hobby disappears, however, there was a very fun thing shown in the picture, namely a giant Turkish flag that was set Saturday morning, so we were then in no doubt where it was going
 
Good trip south and Thanks for all the ships you have dock and made it possible to capture with the camera.
See the photo her www.jtashipphoto.dk

If someone gets eny photo of the dock under the trip please let me now.

Regards Jesper

Hello Jesper
We know the feeling very well on Tyneside.
You only lost the dock! (at present)
On Tyneside we lost the 'complete shipyard' including a floating dock.
The Bhurati group bought and shipped everything of the Swan Hunter Shipyard on Tyneside to Mumbia in India last year, I mean everything! all the fabrication sheds, manufacturing machinery, all the large dockside cranes, the floating dock, small tug, etc etc.
Don't be surprised when your shipyard closes, who wants manufacturing in Europe, not politicians or goverments, they are just moaning about the climate and looking after themselves !
Like in the UK the shipyard will be either a supermarket or exclusive apartments  'with a sea view'
Regards

Hi.

To Neslo, your right, hope the new project will run good on Lindo.

To Tynesider, you are also right, the shipyard in Fredericia is moving to Odense Lindo, but the one floating back now will also be sold, within 2 months i thinks the yard will be gone. The ground were the shipyard is located and on the otherside of Gl Havn a small basin, there was years ago a big fertilizer factory, the area was sold by or local city gov to a company who wants to build apartments and shops around 140.000 m2.  But in and around the 140.000 m2 there is a problem, Shell has the crudeoil terminal and the product / LPG-LNG pier under 500 meters from were the city company wants to build. The company got the messege last week that it is now impossible to build on the 140.000 m2 becuse of the fire security, but the shipyard that was kick out of the city is moving now, to late to do enything, now Fredericia gets the worlds biggest SANDBOX and a bill on 300 mio dkr or 40 million euro from the company bougt the 140.000 m2 land in the port were the not can build enything. Shit happens everyday
