my favorite ships are container ships and ferries. i got interested in ferries thought my dad wich we ride them alot since i was very young and now since there are new ferries here in bc and make time to take trip on them and see what there like and get photos of them. the reason behind container ships is they are neet looking ships with the containers onboard it just looks neet to see them like that and thats why i find those ships intersting and neet to get photos of too.

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.

Shipping News and information / Re: Mighty Servant 3 developed a list and sank!

« on: December 06, 2006, 11:06:52 PM »

thats sad to hear the mighty servant 3 sank and is sad it happened a second time. i like those dockwise ships and some of them have come here like the dock express 12 and her sister ship DOCK EXPRESS 10 . they ueasly transport yaughts from flordia to here in vancouver and retern them back to florida. laety the dock express 12 has been going to bc coast port like nanaimo on vanvouver island and unloding her yaughts. on the side of the dock express 12 is says dockwise yaught transport so that means that is there yaught tranpsort fleet. now with the sinking of the mighty servant 3 dock wise wil have to build them better and better ways of carring very heavy loads like oil rigs.

thanks neil i looked at the website and found it intersting. there is one ship that stood out and that was the prince rupert here on british columbia coast there is city called prince rupert and i have been there the quuen of north run to prince rupert and the ferry to alaska goes there too and the ferry to queen charlote islands off the bc coast goes from prince rupert. prince rupert is on north coast of bc and if the buklker has been there that would be site to see ship named    prince rupert in the port of prince rupert. the port of prince rupert has two terminals a coal termnial and grain terminal now a continaer ternimal is been built so that would change things big for prince rupert. ilke prince rupert i hope to go there agian neil have you been there too.
