Help and Advice / Bunkering vessel "Catharina" (Chill Island)
« on: May 30, 2015, 10:07:22 AM »
Hello all,
in April 2012 I took the following photos here at Hamburg
http://www.shipspotting.com/gallery/photo.php?lid=1535945
and
http://www.shipspotting.com/gallery/photo.php?lid=1535946
So far I couldn't find anything about her on the net. Only today I learnt that she was a former bunkering boat.
But searches for "bunkering vessel or boat or tanker Catharina" proved to be fruitless, too.
So does anyone happen to know something about her? Or maybe someone knows the funnel mark which can be seen in the stern view?
Does someone know what "Chill Island" means?
Maybe she was in private hands as a party boat...
Thanks for your help in advance.
Kind regards,
Jens

Shipping News and information / Emergency aboard "Purple Beach" in the German Bight
« on: May 26, 2015, 06:09:00 PM »
Last night the crew of general cargo Purple Beach (IMO 9138135) underway from Immingham to Brake with a cargo of fertilizer discovered smoke coming out of one of the cargo holds. The crew immediately used the fire extinguishing system aboard and closed off the cargo hold.
It is not yet clear whether there's a fire onboard or if it's a chemical reaction of the fertilizer. Today, on Tuesday afternoon, temperatures in the hold were very high. The situation is not yet under control. As measurements proved that there were harmful substances in the air the crew and rescue team were evacuated with helicopters.
According to Cuxhaven Central Command for Maritime Emergencies more than 20 people were brought to the hospital by way of precaution.
Central Command for Maritime Emergencies says the hold will be flooded.
At the moment Purple Beach is anchored 17 nm southwest of Helgoland, rescue vessels are in assistance.

Shipping News and information / Tragic accident at Bremerhaven
« on: May 14, 2015, 09:12:47 PM »
In the night of May 13/14 a crane operator died at Bremerhaven when the boom of his crane collapsed and crashed with the cabin into the hold of Maersk Karachi 50 m below. 
Authorities needed several hours to find the man beneath the wreckage of the crane.
Maersk Karachi will need some minor repairs before she can leave Bremerhaven.
So far no cause for the accident has been given...

« on: May 09, 2015, 09:17:31 AM »
Hello all,
took these two photos of Atalanta (or Atalanta J?) on the Elbe river at Hamburg yesterday, Friday, May 8.
Can anyone confirm if this is the 1958 built Feadship Atalanta (original name Sirocco)?
And if so, is she still a charter yacht or now in private hands?
Thanks,
Jens

Shipping News and information / Ex-HADAG ferry MAX BRAUER to be scrapped
« on: April 12, 2015, 11:48:31 AM »
Ex-HADAG ferry MAX BRAUER (IMO 7904566) arrived a few days ago at DA Schiffsverwertung, Papenburg, Germany, where she will be scrapped.

From 1988 until 2011 HADAG only used her on the Elbe river as a harbor ferry at Hamburg and for charter tours. Finally in 2011 she was laid up for economical reasons. Sold in January 2014 to Reederei B

Hi there,
I see that Cembalo is at Aalborg, Denmark, for over a month now.
Does someone know if she's laid-up, or even worse retired and waiting to be sold for scrap?
Any info is much appreciated.

Shipping News and information / Lady Ghina (IMO 6416407) - Info welcome
« on: March 23, 2014, 10:39:38 AM »
Hello everybody,
I wonder if anyone has some info about the fate of Lady Ghina (IMO 6416407), built by Sietas at Hamburg in 1964.
According to Equasis she's still in service (last update 24.10.2012) whereas Miramar claims that she's been broken up at Tripoli, Lebanon, in 2008.
Cheers,
Jens
