Shipping News and information / Collision near Cuxhaven on 05.12.2005

« on: December 06, 2005, 08:42:38 AM »

In the evening of 05.12.2005 the container feeder vessel ARCTIC FOX and the freighter MARITIME LADY collided. MARITIME LADY capsized and began to drift downstream river Elbe. Seven crew members were rescued.
MARITIME LADY was on her way downstream river Elbe when ARCTIC FOX left Kiel Canal at Brunsbüttel bound for Hamburg. After the collision a third vessel rammed the drifting MARITIME LADY and went aground. In the meantime the third vessel was refloated. There is no name of the third vessel available at the moment.

Shipping News and information / Re: CP Ships

Yesterday our local newspaper reported that Hapag-Lloyd is interested to take over CP ships for about 1,5 Billion Euros. Hapag-Lloyd is part of Europe's biggest travel group TUI. With this transaction the company would be no. 5 in the world. But also other companies like CMA CGM and China Shipping Group are interested. This will be forcing up the prices.
