Good evening all !

Just (7/1 12:20 lt.) had a word with Port Authority. No decision taken yet. They may know more some time tomorrow morning. View this reply feel it's doubtful she'll come in tomorrow. Will check again a.m. tomorrow.

Ciao,
Rob.

Just checking time of High water is 14:14.

Perhaps they have to arrive after the strong counter current from Nijlharbour (Gate terminal).
So between 15:30 and 16:00.

Better check you AIS from time to time

Frans

There will be more. I only uploaded one to give the others a chance too.
If they don't upload I guess HansE will upload some more.
I am busy editing my video.

If a number of photographers got a number of photographs of the ship, I wonder if it would be possible to have (at least) one picture published under a Creative Commons licence and uploaded to Wikimedia Commons? The article about Valemax ships could benefit from a picture or two.

Although it is easier if the author uploads the photographs by himself, it can also be done by others if a declaration of consent is given by e-mail. If you would like to contribute but don't e.g. have an account for Commons, drop me a PM and I'll do it.
