Hello All

On the date above I saw a container ship in the docks from my hire car and thought she was the MV CALENDRIA according to my app. Now I'm home in the UK and cannot find any sign of her existence. I presume from this I have blundered with my ID. Can anyone help me with her ID please?

Many thanks

Hello All

I am trying to find out if the vessel I saw at Avonmouth Docks on 01/03/2016 was the 1999 built Sylvia 9166467 or the 2008 built Sylvia 9454385.
Needless to say I am tidying up my database and think I've made an error with my sighting.

Many thanks

Help and Advice / Mis-read Ship name

« on: February 24, 2019, 09:56:49 AM »

Hello All

I have just spent some time in Florida plane spotting whilst at Fort Lauderdale I managed to log a few ships on the 15th February in Port Lauderdale/Everglades. I logged, obviously wrongly, NEVE CETUS on a Tanker. I have tried to find what it is supposed to be with no success. Could anyone kindly help me with a suggestion please?

Best wishes

Help and Advice / Barcelona Anchorage

« on: July 04, 2017, 05:41:38 PM »

Hello All

I wonder if anyone can help me with the identity of 2 of the ships in the Barcelona Anch on 28/6/17 which I saw when landing at Barcelona Airport please?

I had written them down from my mobile as Santa Vanessa and Gulveniz A but I don't seem to be able to find them in the photo search, I presume from that, that I have spelt the names incorrectly! Any help would be appreciated.

Regards

Hi All

On Saturday afternoon whilst travelling down the M6 around Stafford I guess, I saw SMIT PENALLY being transported north. I think she hails from Milford Haven?

Hope this is of interest.
