Shipspottingtrips 2011

[Galadriel]

Hi Peter,
I think you have got a Navi, dont you?

Give in Rotterdam Markweg, go there to the end at the roundabout, there is a radar station where you can park and thats exactly opposite of the Maersk terminal at the Beercanal. I got this tip from Fred or Dave and I have been there last year waiting for Emma. You can walk up the side of the canal and make fantastic shots when the big boat is turning into the harbour.
Best place I find for photographing. At the Maasflakte it is  a bit boring for photos as the ships are only to get from the side!
Elly should arrive at about 7 in the morning. Go to the Maersk Website. Under schedule / vessels you find an update every six hours.

We are nearly in K

Dave and all,

I'm very sorry but I wouldn't take the risk with this weather.
For the Rotterdamtrip we can choose any weekend but I'm waiting for a new date for the Flushingtrip (Owner is now on holiday, he's just married)

I want to book both trips in 1 weekend because we have visitors from Germany and England.

[stevo]

Flushing trip will be cancelled till next year.
Only Rotterdam Ports will take place in august/september

[stevo]

If all going well, we can do Rotterdam Port visit on sunday 11/09 (still waiting for final confirmation)

There is a group of UK spotters who visit Terneuzen/Antwerp/Rotterdam that weekend and they have a boattrip on saturday in Antwerp. Maybe we are allowed to join and so have a weekend with lots of ships.
