KAI R, don,t think north atlantic weather is problem causing highlanders not departing bremenhaven. The north atlantic has been in turmoil lately with strong winds & large waves but all other traffick is moving. Hope she,s not a wharf hugger. Any ship designed for sea has to face it sooner or later, that,s what they are made for. I,m sure there must be other problems that are being ironed out. Just my opinion, but i have been wrong before. We don,t need another wharf hugger over this way.
