Mary Maersk vs Marie Maersk

[Fred Vloo]

Am I the only one facing problems searching Mary Maersk on Marine traffic.
When I search for Mary Maersk I end up with Marie Maersk. This is since a week or two.
As far as I know Mary Maersk is on her way to Europe and Marie is still doing sea-trials.

Cheers Fred

Hi Fred, I've tried and if you are looking at Marie comes Mary, if you search for Mary comes Marie :-)

I just tried it; for Mary Maersk it returned Out of range.
For Marie Maersk it correctly shows Marie Maersk on sea trials, steaming up and down south of Busan

You probably did a search through the left side on the frontpage.
I search via Gallery and search photo, which at least should give a photo.

[Kelvin Davies]

Good morning, Fred,
You are right, I did a search via the ships name box on the left.
But, this morning, I tried a gallery search and got no records for Mary and just a single photo for Marie.

[Fred Vloo]

Good morning Kelvin,

There should be a search by imo nr. But somehow Mary Maersk looks as if she's still not in the system, although I remeber I found her before. According to my info she's somewhere between China and Suez, on her way to Europe.

FleetMon gives Mary Maersk off Melaka (between Singapore and Kuala Lumpur) due Suez in 23 hours. 19.2 knots.

[Fred Vloo]

Thanks ChasB46.

Cheers Fred

[Kelvin Davies]

Malacca to Suez in less than 24 hours?
The crew will be hanging off the back, water skiing!
And the Somali pirates won't know what has hit them as this one goes whizzing by at something like 200kts!

Hi Kelvin, the plot is correct but I guess the timing is awry. Perhaps Thunderbirds are go.
My 5 minutes a day on Fleetmon is up so cannot delve deeper but the ships data page agrees with Fred=9 days. The AIS plot gives 23 hours.

[Fred Vloo]

It's 9 days :-) They're not waterskiing.

I've just sent an e-mail to Marine Traffic. Hope they can solve this matter soon.

The IMO's for the first of the tripple E class are on Wikipedia.

I've sent an e-mail to marinetraffic.com regarding Mary/Marie mixup already a month or so ago...so I guess they are taking their time...
