I could remember my time in 1964 onboard sailing ship PASSAT in Luebeck-Travemuende.

These are the port- and starboard positionlights, waterprotected.

Hello Jens,
but I think callsign from Finland starts with O, not with L

A callsign starting with L can be Norwegian.

« on: January 05, 2014, 04:24:17 PM »

Hi @Ted
Happy New Yera at first to you.

Polar Star seems to be a real icebreaker according to WIKI

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USCGC_Polar_Star_%28WAGB-10%29

Ship has enough power, much more than the other 2 toys with 10000 KW (Aurora) and 13200 KW the chinese Draggon.

The bigger swedish and finnish icebreaker in the Baltic have all more than 21000 kw, russion non nuklear Kapitan Khlebnikov has 24500 kw

The salvage schedule for today is to pump the fuel from the tanks and the water from the flooded engine room. When the ship is after that still stable in position the pushing tugs can be released and diver should close the 3 holes with each about 5 m

Kiel Canal is still closed, today 3 ships left the Kanal because there is no schedule about salvage.
Bulker Cinnamon was waiting inside the Canal but turned around with 2 tugs and is now heading for Ust Luuga, containerships Pictor J. and Reinbek were waiting in the siding of Dueckerswisch, but at 13.00 hrs, both captains decided to turn around and are now heading for Kiel.
