Hello all,

today I came across one of my photos of CMA CGM Norma
http://www.shipspotting.com/modules/myalbum/photo.php?lid=702343

at this report
http://www.bluepulz.com/?Id=2452

within the http://www.bluepulz.com/ news agency.

I was never asked for permission !

It seems it's a pretty new agency and I'd say, folks watch out for your photos and check whether they have nicked other people's photos as well.

PLEASE look also the other articles and photos, some photos do look very familiar to ones I have seen here

Greetings,

"Measures for reducing emissions on Emma Maersk" is the topic of this PDF file. However, the file provides as well some interesting GA drawings of the ships and graphics which you probably didn't see before.

Shipping News and information / Future of the QE2 - without it's funnel ?

QE2's funnel 'to be sliced off'
By Paul Clifton
Transport correspondent, BBC South

BBC News, UK
Page last updated at 11:57 GMT, Friday, 10 October 2008 12:57 UK

Details are emerging of what will happen to the world-famous passenger
liner QE2 when it retires next month to become a floating hotel in Dubai.

The plans are unlikely to appeal to QE2's traditional fans. Even the
iconic silhouette of the world's best-known ship will change.

According to the liner's crew, the new owners in Dubai plan to slice off
the giant red funnel, placing it on the waterfront as an entrance to the
ship.

In its place will be a four-deck smoked glass penthouse, in the shape of
the funnel but with a swimming pool. The idea is to make it the most
exclusive hotel room in Dubai.

The lifeboats will all go. And extra rooms will be built on the deck
towards the stern.

Inside, every cabin will be ripped out and replaced with new, larger
bedrooms that meet the latest standards.

And the ship's engines will be taken out, and the space used to create a
new entertainment venue.

"What's happening to the ship is very good," insists Cpt Ian McNaught,
QE2's master for the last five years.

"Because the alternatives are so awful. It could go to scrap and
disappear. Or it could get run into the ground as an ignominious ferry
in some backwater somewhere."

But surely many passengers would see the removal of the famous funnel as
being in poor taste?

"Yes, but wait until you see what's replacing the funnel," said Cpt
McNaught. "It's good."

The new owners of QE2 have been travelling on board for weeks, working
out their plans.

"They seem to change every day," said one engineering officer. "I don't
like the sound of it - this won't be the QE2 we all know."

But the ship is 41 years old and well past its prime. QE2 may still be
the fastest cruise ship afloat, but it does not meet the expectations of
today's passengers, accustomed to the comforts of newer cruise ships.

To bring the vessel up to modern safety standards would cost a fortune.
Environmentally, the liner is a basket case with fuel economy: 49ft
(15m) to the gallon.

QE2's great predecessor, Queen Mary, has been a floating hotel at Long
Beach in California since 1967. It has now been a tourist attraction
longer than it was at sea.

Hotel centrepience

On board, it retains its magnificent art deco public rooms. But
financially, keeping it open has often been a struggle.

QE2 was sold for £50m. The buyer, real estate developers Nakheel, will
spend far more than that before re-opening the liner to guests in 2010.
It wants the ship as a centrepiece of Palm Jumeirah, the palm-shaped
fronds of reclaimed land and beach on the Dubai waterfront.

Nakheel also announced plans this week for the world's tallest building:
a skyscraper more than 1km (0.62 miles) high.

The company has signed a "gagging" contract with Cunard that prevents it
from talking about its plans until after the last passengers and crew
have left the ship.

On Friday evening, QE2 sails from Southampton on its 805th and last
transatlantic round crossing to New York. It will leave its home port
for the final time for Dubai at 1915 GMT on Tuesday 11 November. An
enormous farewell is planned.

Some of you might have obtained the information about Sietas' new type 178 already somewhere, for those who have not, a bit of a sum up in English can be found here:
http://www.jrshipping.nl/pages/nieuwsitem.aspx?nieuwsid=97c83be6-8de1-4de6-a673-76aef894aa98$

However, I was able to see the first ship of this series at Maasvlakte (port of Rotterdam) last weekend, it's quite an impressive ship.
Since I found it as well interesting, I'd like not only to share this with you, but point directly to this here:
