I wonder if HMM and Hanjin will merge.
They originate from two complete different conglomerates.
Interesting to see what will happen.

Help and Advice / Re: Owner & Manager info's not available on additional information

« on: March 11, 2016, 12:45:43 PM »

Dear everybody,

The loss of info at the pictures is indeed regrettable, though I'm afraid we have to live with it at the moment.

It might be in the future that we have to pay for info or that we get a "two tier" system shipspotting, a basic free part and a more thorough paid part with additional features.
I'm definitely not in favor of that!

The thing is that some of us have a lot of info at their disposal and some of us have a lot less or almost no info at their disposal.
But all of us together we have a vast amount of info to share !! And I find that a lot of, if not all, members are willing to help each other with answering questions and / or providing useful info.

As we are all shiplovers please keep it this way. So far this site is a great place / community to search for ship-info and of course pictures of our favorite object(s).

Cheers,
Roy

Trip reports / Re: Gibraltar

Well Piet with a 400mm lens you should be pretty ok.
I definitely would take the walk to 'Europa point', i.e. the southern tip where you have an open view of the strait and the entrance of Gibraltar Bay. You just have to be lucky that there is not to much haze.

Hi gents,
So that's probably the reason they lifted the option for another 8 14000teu vessels.

Shipping News and information / IMO numbers for Rigs

« on: September 19, 2015, 07:40:31 PM »

Can anyone shed light on how IMO numbers are assigned to Rigs.
I noticed that, before, IMO numbers for rigs always stared with an 8, or even 87 as the first two digits irrespective when they were built; the 80ties, 90ties or this century.
Now the Maersk Integrator, latest maersk rig, has IMO number 9664627 while sister rigs stil have numbers starting with 87.
Did IMO abolish the system with an 8 for rigs or how does this work?
Cheers,
Roy

Shipping News and information / Re: New Maersk superships on the horizon for 2017

« on: June 03, 2015, 05:22:37 PM »

Hi Vlad,
Yeah that's a nice one, of course there's a lot of misinformation (as always).
But I'm talking of a picture/drawing of our own corporate info, and I expect, maybe silly, that to be correct.....
Hi Herbert,
I don't think those times will be back, though you never can be sure. But nowadays it's al about the amount of CO2 per teu/mile, so they rather prefer to overestimate.
p.s. two years ago the calendar showed a 3E with complete different bay-configuration then the real ones, but at least the amount of 40ft bays was correct at that time 

Cheers,
Roy

Hi all,
400m in length means 24 40ft bays long.
In the corporate information received about the new ships they put a drawing of the "next generation 3E" with 27 40ft bays.
Probably someone with no knowledge at all was allowed to make the corporate flyer, or...........

Anyone any update?
I assume she will be there for a while. But for instance is the crane-boom already removed and/or has the water already been pumped out?
Here on board the news is scarce....

Shipping News and information / Re: Propeller for 10.000 TEU Maersk-newbuilding ?

« on: February 19, 2006, 08:26:25 PM »

Hi guys,
This new propellor will be for L-203 yard-number newbuilding coming allready halway this year. It will be propelled by a 14RT-flex96 Sulzer main engine (thus 14 cylinder). Extra propulsion power can be added by a schaft-motor. A feature Maersk already applied on their M-serie end 1980thy's.
Yard numeber 202 coming next may will be a "norma" G-class vessel.
Calculated speed will be around 26 knots (service speed).
