I read it today, too. What a success! I hope that the European Parliamant won't project a "Port Package III".

In the early morning of 10.01.2006 Ro/Ro vessel TOR DANIA of DFDS TOR LINE collided with tug EMS PULL and attached barge loaded with sections for Meyerwerft newbuilding NORWEGIAN PEARL. Parts of the barge's cargo fell overboard and impedes traffic on river Elbe. TOR DANIA was damaged above the waterline on Portside. In the meantime she's berthed in Bremerhaven at BREDO repair shipyard. I have a photo of her on this side but unfortunately only available from Starboard. (Sources: Nordseezeitung, Shiplovers.de)

Hello Karbine!

I fear that our newspaper had this photo only for one day on their site. Here I found another site with even better informations. But I can't say how long this story inclusive photos will stay there. Try this one

http://www1.ndr.de/ndr_pages_std/0,2570,OID2072410,00.html

It's a mess! I tried this one I got the message "Side not found". But no problem. Click on the button "REGIONAL" and a side opens where you can see the article. Click on the photo and you'll get the whole story.

Correction: The first vessel was ARCTIC OCEAN not ARCTIC FOX. Wrong information of local radio station.

Shipping News and information / Re: CP Ships

« on: August 21, 2005, 10:25:22 AM »

Yesterday our local newspaper reported that Hapag-Lloyd is interested to take over CP ships for about 1,5 Billion Euros. Hapag-Lloyd is part of Europe's biggest travel group TUI. With this transaction the company would be no. 5 in the world. But also other companies like CMA CGM and China Shipping Group are interested. This will be forcing up the prices.
