I'm afraid, Jens, it's a bad news for both companies, but  presumable a good one for one of the share holders to be able now to sell for a higher price.

Shipping News and information / Re: Tugs ATLANTIC & PACIFIC

« on: October 19, 2012, 03:37:15 PM »

Denis, there are some tugs with the same name. Atlantic IMO 7360679 was built in 1975, therefore it's impossible for her towing the Hanseatic in 1966. I think, you will be succesfull to find her taking the site of the Hamburg based Bugsier Company. Good luck.

is willing to help Sietas with the tax payers' money.

Yes, Jens, with the german tax payers money it would be better to rescue sietas than banks in greece and very rich people there who spend their money to buy houses in London or to take the money taxfree to luxembourg or bahamas. It's a pity with the german so called gouvernment.
