Shipping News and information / Re: Suez Canal blockage by Ever Given

« on: July 07, 2021, 01:00:56 PM »

The UK P & I Club posted this statement today:
https://www.ukpandi.com/news-and-resources/press-release-articles/2021/ever-given---media-statement/

AIS shows the Ever Given last in a northbound convoy, with tug(s) nearby.

If I am not mistaken, the recent Bloomberg Businessweek article cites evidence submitted in court, providing us with the only whiff of factual detail.

My hat is off to the entire ship's crew.

Thanks.
This is standard practice elsewhere and makes sense in Norway.

Would any know whether the Richard With has a pilotage exemption in the port of Trondheim?

Thank you in advance

Can anyone confirm whether a local pilot was aboard at the time of grounding?
thanks in advance.

Today's article in Tradewinds states that visibility was around "100 metres" and a pilot was aboard each vessel at the time of collision.
Sandstorm?

Shipping News and information / Re: Largest ever Maersk ship damaged by fire at Odense

« on: June 23, 2006, 01:09:57 AM »

My research shows that the Gudrun Maersk, launched last summer, is 367 meters LOA and 47m beam.

Don't know for sure if this yard #203 is the same class.
According to the Wikipedia site, this #203 is the Emma Maersk. Cannot trust Wikipedia, as it's a 'free-for-all' with respect to entries.

A Maersk captain who I spoke with last night on an M class ship said that he heard this newbuild is 406 meters.

Regards,

Stuart

Fellow shipspotters:

Are there accurate dimensions available for this newbuilding?
Nothing found so far on the AP Moller Maersk website.
Thanks,

Stuart
