Rumours abound; according to the latest will all three Pullmantur ships now actually are going back to RCI. Sovereign and Monarch to RCCL and Horizon to Celebrity. The RCCL will do short cruises and the Horizon will fill a small ship niche for Celebrity.

Site related news, functions and modules / separate photo category for fish factories/fish processors

« on: June 28, 2020, 02:08:03 PM »

Once more I want to explore the possibility for a separate photo category for fish factories/fish processors. A number of these pass through the Inside Passage each season to and from Alaska.

Some are huge; others are smaller, like Angie, IMO 7309297, a former US Army BSP (barge, self-propelled)
converted to fish processor:

These vessels don't look like fishing vessels, work like fishing vessels and more important, they are not even classified as such (carry no ADFG registrations).

I have not suffered any recent hiccups, but since two days I am getting that red unsafe site warning sign, same as Derek Sands. So I am afraid that my password is susceptible here......

Site related news, functions and modules / change "Ships under Repair or Conversion" category

« on: January 21, 2020, 02:26:46 PM »

http://www.shipspotting.com/gallery/photo.php?lid=1497733

The category of this "fishing vessel under 20 m" was arbitrarily changed to:
"Ships under Repair or Conversion." This category should only apply to
vessels that are actually being worked on and not for those being stored.

A fishing vessel, for example, out of the water should still be classified
as such, this does not change whether in or out of the water.

The photo description/category for vessels like Misty Michelle should still
be a FISHING VESSEL. At the end of June she is still waiting to be put back
into the water for her short summer fishing season.

Vessels like this spend most of their lives out of the water, and should
certainly not be classified as "under repair or conversion," as this is not
accurate.

Site related news, functions and modules / Re: photo search failure: missing Pacific Falcon, IMO 7200128

My question remains: why are certain photos no accessible under "photo search" but
are only accessible when using TWO spaces between a two-word name, or having to go
the long and more time consuming way going "advanced search" through a vessel's IMO
number, which many vessels don't even have.....

Just how many other members' photos cannot be accessed through "photo search."

Though I have posted two photographs of tug Pacific Falcon, IMO 7200120,
the first one, id 3003836 does not come up in photo search, but does show at

"more of this ship" with my second photo: see below:
http://www.shipspotting.com/gallery/photo.php?lid=3082114

I noted this at an earlier occasion and am now just wondering how many more
of our members' photograph cannot be searched.

the photo is there: http://www.shipspotting.com/gallery/photo.php?lid=3003836
but does not show up under "Photo search"
