Southampton - ATLANTIC BRIDGE and MARGARET HILL
Tees - CALA PORTOFINO and CALA POSITANO (due shortly)
River Fal - SETUBAL (to be confirmed, but would appear to be laid up)
Tilbury - EMARAUDE FRANCE, SPEEDONE, EGLANTINE, IPSWICH WAY and OSTEND WAY. (the last 3 to be confirmed, but they have not moved since mid-November)
Plus there is a gaggle of container feeders at Hamburg, thanks to photos posted by one of our correspondents there.
There are also reports that Zodiac are laying up a container ship at Southampton, but they are not disclosing which one. There is nothing on AIS to suggest that anything has arrived yet, but can any of our local correspondents in the Solent area confirm?
Any further news of ships arriving for lay up, please post in this thread. Thanks.

Not sure about Margaret Hill strictly being laid up - I thought she was awaiting conversion to a floating LPG production/storage facility. Interestingly, Atlantic Bridge sailed for Brazil after just a week at 101 berth. Morning Cloud is on the list as being at Southampton until 04:2009, but no doubt if there is a sudden surge in demand for bulkers, she'll be off sooner..
The lay-up of the Costa Container vessels must be very worrying for the builders. Stocznia Szczecińska Nowa have orders in hand for two updated versions, B170/V and also two B178/III vessels for the same company. Bear in mind it was the cancellation of the delivery of two B591 vessels, one almost complete, from another Italian company, Lloyd Sardegna in 2002, that was instrumental in the bankruptcy of Stocznia Szczecińska in that year. I hope Italian lightning does not strike twice at the same yard.

Thanks for the info about the ATLANTIC BRIDGE. I hadn't realised she'd gone. As for the MARGARET HILL, yes, there is a potential plan for her to be converted, but that's still in the pipeline. In the meantime, she has struggled to find work in the spot market and has spent most of this year idle. Effectively, she is laid up.
I don't see the connection between the yard and the laying up of the two containerships. Ships are lying idle because of the current economic slump and where they are built has no bearing on this. However, Szczecin Nowa, the restructured Szczecin Shipyard, is already in dire financial difficulties and has been for some time. Along with the other main Polish yard at Gdynia, they have to pay back millions of Euros in illigal state aid. The assest of the yards will be sold off, or alternatively they face bankrupcly, but whatever happens shipbuilding is likely to end. As it is, they are struggling to complete orders which are running 1-2 years behind schedule, the owners having walked away in most instances.

My point about the yard is that if CCL are laying up existing vessels, they are not likely to want new ones of the same type delivered.
Regarding the EU attitude to shipbuilding, it is quite likely that their rules regarding subsidies will kill off shipbuilding completely in both Poland and Croatia, as it prepares for EU membership. Is that what the EU want ?? A huge rise in unemployment, and crumbling economies that will still have to be subsidised in some form by UK, Germany and France !!!
The EU has never stopped the French subsidising their inefficient airline Air France, (or their railways for that matter) or various farmers around Europe who seem to benefit from the ludicrous CAP - just what do the mandarins of the EU have against shipbuilding?
Allan
Post by: Phil English on December 04, 2008, 12:37:00 PM
You may well be right, but because of SSN's woes, the vessels CCL has on order there will probably not be built anyway, irrespective of how well or badly the shipping markets perform. In fact CCL may be on to a good thing. They will not get the ships, but because it is SSN defaulting and not CCLs choice to cancel, they will get compensated for any downpayments made.
As for the EU, they probably realise (if they have any sense) that EU shipbuilders are unable to compete with the efficiency and productivity of Korean, Japanese and, to a lesser extent, Chinese yards, so throwing public money at a failing industry is not wise. Even with massive subsidies, Polish yards were struggling to complete orders on time.
Post by: Bob Scott on December 04, 2008, 03:02:55 PM
At two years behind schedule, Polish shipyards would seem to have improved their performance in the 20-odd years since I last visited them.
At that time, they had about a five-year lead-time but their big sales gimmick for attracting orders from the West was the guarantee to shipowners that if they ordered a ship in 1984, they'd take delivery of it in about 1989 or 1990, but at 1984 prices. It was a case of "anything to get hard currency". In fact, so bad was Poland's hard-currency situation in the 1980s that shipowners were having to purchase western-made equipment themselves from the manufacturers and have it sent to Poland for installation in their newbuildings.
The most prominent victims of this problem at the time of my 1984 visit were the four B494 "Super Night Ferries" for Stena Line. They had been ordered in 1979, two each from the Paris Commune yard in Gdynia and the Lenin yard in Gdansk. Only two (Stena Germanica and Stena Scandinavica) were actually delivered to Stena - in 1987 and 1988. The others (which were to have been Stena Polonica and Stena Baltica) were sold off before completion an were laid up in the Polish yards until at least 1989, before being towed away for completion in Greece. One of them - B494/04, now named Regent Sky - is still in an incomplete state in Greece, nearly 30 years after it was first ordered.
Post by: Allan RO on December 04, 2008, 03:06:00 PM
That's as may be, but surely it is a government's responsibility to look after its workforce. The closure of the yards in Poland and Croatia would cause a huge increase in unemployment (which is high anyway) - and who will have to pay for these unfortunates to survive. Surely it is better to keep a workforce meaningfully employed by means of industry subsidies than to lay them off and and have to pay them benefits.
As for the EU realising it can not compete with Korea and China, what do we in Europe do - simply stop manufacturing anything and hand world production to the Far East. Looking at the recent woes of the banking industry we don't even seem to be able to run 'service' industries.

That's a fair point, but if ship owners won't order ships in Europe, what can you do? Established yards in the Far East are proven to be efficient, productive and ship owners are getting good value for money. Many ship owners simply refuse to take the risk and order anywhere else. Sure, there are areas where European yards do have the edge over their Far-Eastern counterparts, notably in the building of cruise ships and ferries. Unfortunately, I can't see the European shipbuilding industry doing anything other than falling further and further behind their rivals, especially as Far Eastern yards are sitting on huge orderbooks stretching 4-5 years ahead and in no rush to take on new contracts in the current uncertain climate. On the other hand, European yards, who managed to take advantage of the shipbuilding boom and snatch orders away from the far east by offering earlier delivery slots are now nervously looking ahead.

This time a fortnight ago I would have been prophesying that we could be seeing a huge number of (especially older) containerships being put into lay-up, not just because of the down-turn in just-about every type of shipping you can think of but also because the bottom had fallen out of the scrap-steel market.

MSC are in a slightly better position than some, as they operate some older tonnage, and these vessels could be scrapped rather than laid up, realising cash instead of costing money.
China is still predicted to take 40m more tonnes of iron ore in 2009 than 2008 so there's a bit of hope for the bulker market.

Not sure about definitions of timings of anchorages, but we have had tankers at both Nab and St. Helens Anchorages for upwards of a week (not very often for that long, but often 4 days or so)
As for Kelvin's comment about Soton VTS, they havn't updated the 'ships sailed' since 22nd, so don't believe that if it is not on the list it ain't coming in. They also gave Minerva Ellie as coming in from Salerno whilst in fact she came from Hound Point - that's the third error in a week regarding tankers ports of origin. Difficult to understand how they can give Salerno when she clearly came in from 'up North'

Maybe they have not been updating the "ships sailed" but they are maintaining the arrivals & departures schedules.

on the anchorage of the port of Gdansk, Poland
the "open type" (wide hatch) bulk carrier Hamburg Way (IMO 7931832)
is anchored since 16 Dec 2008
earlier (2008.11.18 - 2008.12.16) the ship was under repairs at Remontowa shiprepair yard in Gdansk
it seems to be at least a short term laid-up until they find employment for the ship...
at Remontowa SA two mono-hull fast ferries SuperSeaCat Three (IMO 9141871) and ...Four (IMO 9141883)
seem to be laid up...
they arrived to Gdansk on 18 and 15 Oct 2008 respecdtively and they were expected to leave before the end of December...
meanwhile, probably the specification of repairs was expanded, but seemingly not enough to keep the ships that long at the yard...
both ships were at some point declared to be staying at the yard until Dec 31, and several days ago both ships were declared to be departing on 31 March 2009...
sometimes choosing a small repair company with limited resources ("shipyard without docks") and relying also on ship's crew or shipowners "flying repair squad", thus making normal repairs extremely long, may also be regarded as some kind of lay-up...
chemical tanker Anitra (IMO 8513364) is moored at one of the Dalmor company quays in the port of Gdynia, undergoing alongside repairs, already since 01.10.2008...
quays of Dalmor have been often used as lay-up berths for several ships over several recent years, including long period lay-ups (eg. 1 or 2 years), including such ships as Antarctica ( http://www.shipspotting.com/modules/myalbum/photo.php?lid=733685 ) in these periods:
2006-08-10 - 2006-10-04 - 55 days
2006-04-28 - 2006-07-18 - 81 days
2006-03-24 - 2006-08-04 - 133 days
2006-01-23 - 2006-03-07 - 43 days
2002-04-24 - 2004-03-17 - 693 days
currently (as of end of Dec 2008), the following ships seem to be laid-up at Dalmor's quays:
- Fair One (IMO 8104307) - since 24.11.2008 (quite a long period as for loading or discharging such a small coaster)...
- Alert (IMO 7404176)
2008-10-09 - 2008-11-20 - 42 days
2008-02-06 - 2008-09-21 - 228 days
it seems to be a ship from the same company as Antarctica
- Sentinel (IMO 7106877)
it also seems to be the ship of the owners of Antarctica
I do not know exactly - since when, but I think for a couple of weeks now, the geared bulkcarrier Proikonissos (IMO ) has been anchored off Baltijsk / Kaliningrad, quite long distance from shore, with "Destination: Orders" declared on AIS (I understand it waits for orders of employment)
(currently at a position of 54

Still plenty of berths in the River Fal - 3 or 4 (or even 5 abreast) is achievable on the present moorings (I think a total of 15 berths - though could be wrong!)!

Just asking as it seems the Fal is an equally environmentally sensitvie area and of outstanding natural beauty. I am all for it but it is difficullt to judge if thirty of so ships anchored in our estuaries as occcured in the early 60s would be accepted now.

I believe that the Blackwater can be used for anchoring ie lay-by but there seems no clear distinction as to when anchoring becomes lay-up and mooring which can be regulated eg by the Crown Estate or their lessees
There is some interesting history on http://www.merseamuseum.org.uk/mmshipping.php
It will also be intesting to see how the commercial pressure to find places to lay-up and the apparent environmental concerns about it balance out in the end.

Some car carriers are been used as floating garages to hold stock for which there are no sales, which is why they appear to be meandering around the coast at the moment.
For those owners who are trying to continue trading, especially bulk carrier operators, there is much more anchored, awaiting orders, these vessels are not laid-up although they don't seem to move very much.

The position is quite weird, perhaps Norwegians are interested in buying that one too. (Few 168s are bought by Norwegian interests last year.)

To qualify for this thread, at least one of the following two criteria should be satisfied, in my view:
(i) There should either be positive evidence the owners have made adecision to stop trading the vessel and opted for lay-up (e.g. statements from port authorities, confirmation from owners, or similar); or
(ii) the vessel must have been idle for at least a month at a berth or place that is not in used for trade.

This has implications for example if a ship is deemed to be moored then the Crown Estate or its agents here can charge mooring fees or move the ship.
If you have any clarification on this it would be interesting as I believe it has not been tested in the UK Courts ie how far the right of "anchoring in the course of navigation" can be stretched by shipowners looking to find a free anchorage and relevant in the current downturn.
We are also seeing anchorages occupied by ships such as oil and gas tankers and car carrires that are chartered for storage purposes and while they are not laid up.Is using this right to anchor off the coast and obtaining a free ground rent for a floating warehouse be pushing things too far ?
Post by: henrycourt on January 13, 2009, 10:08:01 PM
Post by: FWE on January 13, 2009, 10:46:50 PM
I believe this applies to areas outside port limits controlled by harbour authrities who may set their own rules. The Duchy of Cornwall fulfils a similar role to the Crown Estate of that coast and they alos have various leaseholders
OIt beocmesw an interesting question as ships anchor for longer periods eitheir through lack of trade or it seems being used as floating storage. I accept that in the latter case it is not laid up but poses a similar issues.

Post by: Brent on January 14, 2009, 09:45:23 AM
I was interested to read definitions qualifying for this column. While Mats puts forward a version, it does not fit the title of this thread "laid up ships" - which I understand are de-activated vessels without crews and having technical modifications such as dehumidifying spaces occurring, and moored at a permanent berth.
The current phenomenon actually involves few truly laid-up vessels, most are in :hot lay-up" meaning still crewed and readiness maintained for prompt return to trade. Some ships are just idle for a round voyage, but to me fit the criteria of this column as affected by the downturn and withdrawn from trade for a period.
Ships idle for less than a month may well then qualify for this column, as long as resulting from lack of cargo, but not as a result of mechanical issues or awaiting orders as already mentioned.
Cheers
Brent
Post by: Phil English on January 14, 2009, 09:52:11 AM
1. Cold lay up. This is the complete shut down and 'mothballing' of the vessel with only very limited personnel about for watch keeping. Re-activation will take several weeks and will have to include surveys in order for the ship to resume trading.
2. Warm lay up. This is a temporary idling of a fully-operational vessel, with full crew and stores aboard, which can be re-activated at short notice should a cargo become available.
There is evidence that many owners are choosing the second option. As the thread starter, I believe that bother cases are worthy of note in the current climate. So please keep posting information, even if a ship is at anchor for only a few weeks.

That must be something of a record for a trip to Bremerhaven and back.

Correction about the Bulker 'MOORGATE'
The vessel did not stay at the Deep Water Anchorage in Torbay.
She did anchor in Torbay for a short period on 15th Jan 09 for the purpose of boarding Police Officers by Pilot Launch to investigate the death of the Chief Engineer while in the Bay of Biscay..there was no suspicious cicumstances and his body was landed in Brixham.....the vessel then left to unknown destination.

She left Southampton a couple of days ago for Bremerhaven. A day later she was charging back down the Channel for Southampton; I didn't make a note of the timings but I am sure she didn't have time to get to Bremerhaven and back so must have turned round.
After 5 or 6 hours in Southampton, she set off for Baltimore and was seen heading out of the Channel yesterday.
Now, as you say, she is anchored in Lyme Bay showing destination Brixham Anchorage.
I too thought the gales may have caused her to turn back but why would they change the destination from Baltimore to Brixham if it was merely seeking shelter?
Come to that, why not seek shelter in the Falmouth area?
A couple of days ago, Triton Highway was showing Zeebrugge with an ETA 22/01/09; at this time (Sunday mid-day) she appears to be joining the eastbound channel traffic so I don't believe either the destination or the ETA (I could swim to Zeebrugge in less than 2 months!)
Incidentally, BBC radio and their web site had in interesting article yesterday about how Southampton is being affected. They quoted Honda as having 10,000 cars stockpiled at their Southampton terminal.
And they referred to the car carriers parked off the Isle of Wight.
They also said there are bulkers there which would have cost $250,000 a day to charter can not find any takers at $3,000 per day (no idea how accurate those figures may be)

I am using that only for illustration of that type of movement as I have no basis to say that in that particular case it was the reason. I think it may become a feature of "warm lay-ups" to enable owners to reduce costs ie as it is similar to us parking our cars in 30 minute zones and when that time is up driving round the corner to another 30 minute zone to avoid a penalty.

Post by: Kelvin Davies on January 28, 2009, 10:23:22 PM
I don't remember the ships involved but one load was transferred yesterday at Scapa Flow. I do remember one of the tankers involved was one of the "Front" family (not the Shanghai).
I think the piece mentioned that there is approximately 60M barrels stored off shore at the moment and they were surmising that the move by Shell may start the beginning of movement of a lot more of this stuff to refineries.
By the way, you may get your good weather tomorrow! The BBC says pretty good weather Thursday and tropical sunshine Friday!

Waterford is now down to leave today (12th), while Norasia Bellatrix has had a change of plan is near Cherbourg, heading for Le Havre.
If you enter Waterford into Lloyds AIS, it puts the ship's position somewhere in the middle of nowhere; 89N 179W.
Post by: Allan RO on February 12, 2009, 01:54:06 PM
Waterford departed, ostensibly for Brazil, at 10:21, although she crept out without giving an AIS signal.
Nobleza also left Nab area (she had arrived 21 January), at 13:10 with AIS destination given as Singapore, although if previous departures are anything to go by she may well stop off in Lyme Bay...........

Norasia Bellatrix gets stranger & stranger.
It has been shown as arriving in Southampton 16 Feb for the last couple of days.
But it is due only to go as far as the After Barn mooring buoy which is half way between the Cadland and the Hound. This is shown on charts as a mooring area but the depth is only 2.5m and the buoy itself is 280m from the edge of the channel. Norasia Bellatrix is 282m long and draws 10m, so how will that work?
Then VTS show the ship as sailing the same day from the buoy, destination "World".
Meanwhile, the ship has gone from Le Havre to Rotterdam, left Rotterdam yesterday evening and is currently (Sunday morning) approaching Bremerhaven, heading into Hamburg.
Someone is pulling someone's leg!

her movements are indeed very strange, she arrived Hamburg earlier today as was watching hr on AIS, VTS nos has her showing due 101 berth sometime on 18th?
However not the only strange vessel movement, Marit Maersk arrived in Southampton from Rotterdam on friday only to sail for Hamburg? she has now left hamburg on her way to Malaga.
what on earth is going on!!
Post by: Kelvin Davies on February 16, 2009, 09:21:05 PM
All I can say is try confused.com!
I see Caedmon is still appearing as regular candidate for departure; 17th TBA, destination "world" is the latest offering!
Kelvin
Post by: Ferry-Man on February 16, 2009, 09:41:32 PM
The Caedmon is derelict for now, a ghostship. She isn't scheduled to go anywhere soon...
Just a glitch in the VTS System, I think
Post by: Kelvin Davies on February 17, 2009, 08:54:20 AM
Norasia Bellatrix left Hamburg this morning, allegedly for Southampton 11:00 tomorrow.
Next question has to be; why would a container ship be heading for 101 berth?
Post by: Andrew McAlpine on February 17, 2009, 07:22:36 PM
well the strange case of this vessel continues!
firstly someone better tell vts as she is not showing on arrivals for tomorrow, there have been rumours for a while that Zodiac would lay up a container vessel after he Waterford sailed so she would be heading for 101 berth for lay up as she is not on any service that calls at Southampton.
think ill keep tomorrow free should she actually decide to call!!

This morning, the tug Eurosund IMO IMO 7719698 is passing south of Selsey at a nice gentle 3 knots. Unless they are rowing, I presume this speed might indicate they are towing something. Destination is shown as Lyme Bay, 06:00 1st March.
Meanwhile, something my be stirring in Southampton with Broadgate showing up on the daprtures schedule for tomorrow, destination "World".
The vehicle carriers Western Highway and Eastern Highway have been anchored at the Nab anchorage for around 2 weeks now.

Anything concerning storage of oil offshore is a hot potato and maybe this is not the site for devious means of trying to extract info from enthusiasts so as to fabricate a potentially sensational story. Also..if one newspaper is doing it, there are likely to be others!
As enthusiasts of any kind, we all know how the image of anybody who spots anything is portrayed in the press....seems we're useful for some purposes then....!
Perhaps the moderator would like to comment..

Post by: FWE on March 04, 2009, 02:20:06 PM
It is not speculation on my part as claimed but fact these tankers are in effect being used for storage. I accept they are not then relevant to this particular thread ie on "laid up ships".
I share concern that enthusiasts are not unknowingly solicited by the press but at the same time feel we must beware as ship "spotters" we are not discouraged to report what we see.

A sensational article in the press alleging rustbuckets hanging around etc as we've seen before...which is the opposite of the true condition of the much vetted and regulated vessels these days, would serve only to drive those vessels elsewhere...and we are then again the losers as enthusiasts

FWE - Your rundown of ships both laid up and in awaiting orders / in storage was extremely useful. It's just the kind of post that this forum needs. The fact that some of those vessels are not strictly laid up is just nit picking in my opinion.
Maybe the answer is to vet more carefully those new members who join the site, not to discourage members from sharing info.

The K Line vessels are not strictly laid up, The reason for Eastern, Western and Southern Highways sitting idle at the Nab Anchorages is that K-Line are about to cease their North Atlantic Shuttle Service on which these vessels were employed. Southern Highway completed her final rotation
and Western Highway makes the final rotation for now of this service, beginning Bremerhaven 24th March, calling Southampton 27th March and finishing back in Bremerhaven on 22nd April.
Info. gleaned from Solent Waters website shipping news.
Autoprogress sailed for Le Havre at 17:44hrs 12 March after calls at 105 and 31 berths.

Pietari Cliff, now TIBOR, she's been sold for further trading. Pietari Glory (today renamed GLORY) and Pietari Bright are both about to take their last voyages after being sold for scrap. Again due to go this week or next. Britannia Bulk vessels Challenger II and Adventure II have been sold for further trading and renamed Challen and Advent.

At the moment there is a fine accumulation of tankers at the Nab Anchorage, off the Isle of Wight.
It seems that a couple of crude oil tankers that have discharged at EMT Fawley in the past week are now laying up there - these are Thornbury and Eagle Otome, presumably awaiting orders for their next fill - also there is Marida Magnolia a smaller chemical tanker which left EMT on 30th March which may simply be waiting for a return load and we have Seamullet which arrived on 31 March, but has not yet appeared on the Soton VTS list as being due at EMT.
Given that there are 12 numbered anchorages at the Nab, with 3 car carriers that are still there, we currently have 13 vessels at the Nab Anchorage.

The inactivity surrounding the Coastal Bulk fleet can be explained by this article http://www.lloydslist.com/ll/news/coastal-bulk-ceases-trading/20017602607.htm
Although I have to query the description of 'bulk carrier' for them! For their size, that would embrace 99.9% of all coasters.

The United States Military Command Ro Ro/Container Ship
'USNS 2nd LT JOHN.P.BOBO' arrived and anchored for which I presume is a recreational stay of some period as Several Garbage skips were taken out to her this morning by Pilot Launch. (These ships of the MPS SQUADRON ONE Call from time to time for this purpose)
NYK SIRIUS Arrived empty of boxes yesterday from Southampton and anchored in the 'Box' for which I presume will be a lengthy stay.
Box vessel 'SEALAND PERFORMANCE' Has left the Deep Water Anchorage this morning, boarded the local Pilot and now looks as though she will be re anchoring within the Torbay Inner Anchorage at Alpha or Bravo....so good opportunities for any photographers.

San Francisco has just completed a charter with Zim, and has discharged in Amsterdam before coming to Falmouth - Can't wait to see your pictures!! I'll be running down in a few weeks to get her.
With San Francisco there, that'll make four Claus-Peter Offen container vessels there! (Santa Giovanna, Guiliana and Guilietta the others already there) - I'd never would have imagined that.
Hope the weather's better for you tomorrow in Falmouth!

Does anyone know what the TORINIA is up to? Having been at Southwold Anchorage for barely 36 hours last week, she sailed again giving North America as her destination. The next day she anchored again in her favourite position east of Start Point and she remained there until this morning (Wed 10th June) when she came back up to Brixham and anchored near the ALKMAN. This evening she sailed for Falmouth, presumably for bunkers, although her AIS was still showing North America as her destination. The Falmouth Port web site is giving Lyme Bay as her destination when she leaves there on Thursday evening

The filming would be for a documentary for TLC Discovery and we would want to film some drama reconstruction of how the crew of a container ship managed to prevent pirates talking control of their ship.
Seperately, we'd also like to film aboard a container ship on a journey within Europe.
Any thoughts, suggestions of laid up ships and contacts much appreciated.
Thanks so much

Post by: adams on June 19, 2009, 01:45:36 PM
Rather than going to shipping companies, you should try to contact owners or managing companies. As you may be aware most major shipping companies do not own vessels - they are chartering from other companies. Does not make sense but that is the way it works
Post by: Phil English on June 19, 2009, 02:37:15 PM
I suggest first contacting a port authority where ships are laid up. For instance, Falmouth has at least 4 containerships laid up at the moment. You should be able to find a contact point on the Falmouth Port website. You would almost certainly need permission from the ships owner to film on their property, but I reckon that the Port Authority is a good starting point to get the ball rolling.

perhaps some good news.......
Caribbean Highway re-entered the land of the living 1 July, bound for Zeebrugge from Nab Anchorage where she has been since 25 March....
Southern Highway left Nab Anchorage 3 July bound for Gibraltar, laid up since 08 May.
Sierra Nevada Highway, Andes Highway and Lapis Arrow still at Nab area.

It was becoming the K Line anchorage.
Oh, and don't forget the poor Tagus, still blocking the river on the Afterbarn Buoy.
And the Tokyo Car & Triumph which seem to have grafted themselves on to the cruise terminal!

Post by: polsteam on August 27, 2009, 05:52:11 AM
- cold lay-up for longer periods
- stand by lay-up for shorter periods
even in stand-by lay-up the crew is sometimes reduced to various extend - sometimes significantly (but with possibility to call the crew relatively quickly to board the vessel)
in cold lay-up probably security and / or fire guards are only left onboard
however in cold lay-up ships are often being repaired by mobile gangs of fitters, welders, mechanics, electricians, etc. or by crew members, so - in such cases - the number of manpower onboard will not be significantly or will not be reduced at all... however it will be mostly not the crew, but fitters...
example of cold lay-up case:

in the last weeks of September, as lines reduce capacity and hand back
chartered vessels to their owners, according to the latest Alphaliner
figures.
This is the first time since records began in October 2008 that tramp
owners have a larger share of the total idle fleet than carriers.
The number of idle ships belonging to non-operating owners now stands
at 379 ships with a combined capacity of 654,000 teu, the highest
level recorded to date, Alphaliner said. The number of
carrier-controlled idle vessels stands at 169 with a total capacity of
643,000 teu. Carriers have redelivered a high number of smaller ships,
which are expected to have difficulty finding new employment.
The total number of idle ships reached 548 units, or 1.3m teu,
representing 10% of the total world container fleet capacity,
Alphaliner said.

This B-class was laid up in Asia, but used as one of the backup vessels for the cargo from the grounded Maersk Kendal 19/Sep at Singapore.

Companies with a huge fleet are able to make money if there is plenty of cargo, smaller companies will suffer due to lack of capacity. In a crisis like this, companies with a huge fleet will suffer as they have not sufficient cargo to fill their fleet. (or against reasonable rates)

SL Performance already removed from the 'raft' and performing under water hull cleaning near Greenock, Scotland at the moment. After completion around 6/Jun she'll proceed to Panama, Balboa to load empty containers for Shanghai, whereafter the vessel will be recycled.
All other Maersk B-types (Beaumont/Brooklyn/Bentonville/Boston/Baltimore) will be re-activated next month (June 2010) and proceed one by one to Northern or Southern America to bring empty containers back to Asia. Possible bunkering in Falmouth, UK or Le Havre, France before crossing the Atlantic.

SL Performance underway to Panama, before heading for Shanghai (discharge empty containers) whereafter she will be demolished.
Maersk Boston will depart from Greenock, Scotland 18/Jun evening towards Portland, UK for bunkers. Take bunkers on 20/Jun whereafter she will proceed to Suape & Santos, Brasil to load empty containers for Ningbo, China.
M.Boston still having the UK flag, but now Asian command.
Maersk Beaumont will depart from Greenock somewhere 21/6, calling Portland or Falmouth, UK for bunkers as well before heading for Newark, USA. Loading empty equipment for Asia. Transit Panama before heading for Ningbo, China.
M.Beaumont now flying the Danish flag with Danish command as well.
Maersk Baltimore be ready around 26/6. Most probably go to Le Havre for bunkers instead of Portland. Exact schedule unknown yet.
I'm working on above reactivations as well and update the Maersk website myself :D

Also now jined them at Hull the Karla C arr 13/12 and Nicole C arr 14/12 possibly in trade
Yes they are working, Carisbrooke's smaller vessels have been regulars to Hull in recent months, I believe with grain or animal feed cargoes.
Christina C now renamed TIN.
Post by: FWE on January 14, 2013, 05:37:27 PM
The ships are owned by individual companies and this siuation does not relate to Carisbrooke itself
