For me are the photos from the tanker "Valetta" the most interresting.
I think that the tug take bunkers in Las Palmas and after that continious the voyage.
Thank you for reading and/or forwarding

Best regards,

Hallo Marcel en Ruud,

Ook dat is de vraag.
De World Tug 1 heeft eind december ruim een week voor de Franse kust rondjes gevaren i.v.m. slecht weer. De Valetta heeft het daar al goed voor haar kiezen gekregen.

Ik ben echt benieuwd of er iemand foto's kan maken.
Misschien hebben jullie kontakten daar?

Gr. Ronald

Looks like non-stop to Dakar.  Kept well away from Las Palmas and a steady 6-7kn.
ETA Dakar 28/1.

You've seen it correct yesterday.
But now she is turning and it looks like to see that the course is to Las Palmas

My question again; are there any shipspotters in Las Palmas?

[davidships]

Indeed she has.  So far still seems to be staying well off - she will presumably have to take another tug to look after the tow if she is going in to take bunkers whether she berths in the port or goes to a bunkering anchorage.

Go to Advanced Search and select Las Palmas as location, then you can see the members posting regularly from there and send them a PM.

Thanks for the note.
I already send some Pm's

Your hunch was right.  WORLD TUG 1 is now in Puerto La Luz, Las Palmas.  But it looks as if VALETTA is being held by VB ALBORAN well off shore.

Departed Las Palmas last night, picked up VALETTA ofshore and now heading for Dakar. 
ETA 28/1.

I don't think that there are any resident members at Dakar.
