Title: New Supply Vessel
Post by: Dean Porter on December 21, 2006, 03:05:29 AM: Good Day,

I recently heard that the Canadian Company Secunda has purchased a supply vessel from the west coast of Canada I believe.
Do anyone have any information or any news on this.

Thanks
Dean

I actually got the 1900 time from the PPA site. I'm running an AIS system at home, and picked up the Emerald Sea as it went by. It's destination was listed as the Panama Canal, ETA Jan 7.

Post by: robert etchell on January 19, 2007, 12:36:51 AM: that is good to know she is bound for Copenhagen. i was wondering were she was going to. i looked at the web site that was posted it looked to me a interesting web site of the maresk defender. i wonder if the other cable ships that are based in victoria like the WAVE VENTURE and her sister ship BOLD ENDUERNACE wich are owned by cable&wirles ltd of uk have a web site too. if so i like to see it. i like cable ships they are interesing ships to photograph.

Post by: kph06 on January 19, 2007, 09:37:01 PM: I too was hoping to see her in port here, she is working on a long term well testing contract with PEMEX. I think it's a Mexican company, so I guess she will be in the gulf for a while. Do you think she will get the red stripe? Secunda's other large vessels don't have it.
