What's up at home today...?

---

Pfff ... The result of 40 years of laxism and of so called "progressist" politics ...

Through the joint efforts of Dutch, Spanish and French, the towing maneuvering of the cargo Modern Express, sinking since six days in the Bay of Biscay, was successful. According to the official French PREMAR, the risk of stranding and pollution on the French coast is now ruled out. The ship is now being towed to Bilbao.




EDIT :

Also, shame on the so called "consultant" of BFM TV channel, who nicknamed today the specialists of the Dutch company Smit Salvage as, i quote, "cow-boys". Stupid man.

Today has docked in Bilbao

Impress the images we see in the list of the vessel "Modern Express" insurance tied to dock at the port of Bilbao. The first part of the process has been successfully completed, after a week of uncertainty, in which experts in the field of marine salvage have shown how to do things to go right, away from the influence of politicians who all damage it. And the ship has endured quite well a trance of this caliber, in which the load run, the sealing has worked better than expected.

The trailer got his goal and the boat is now being inspected by experts from the Dutch company Smit Salvage specialist to determine the next steps, they get adrizarlo again. Although there is no danger of contamination is provided a protective barrier around the floating ship. When insured you will be transferred to another pier to proceed with the download of wood and carrying machinery. It is noteworthy, and much, the work of those who have been involved in the rescue, towing and maneuvering the vessel, who have demonstrated a high altitude practice.

Yeah, everyone involved in this rescue have worked well, we're not at the times of Amoco Cadiz anymore, when endless negotiations about cost, price and money conducted to a dramatic loss of time, with the consequences that everyone knows and remembers. With the right decision at the right time, things have more chances to end successfully, if the sea wants it. Also, technicity and know-how in sea rescue have advanced since the time.

Good job everyone.

The Amoco Cadiz was a tanker built in 1974 in the shipyards of Puerto Real (Cádiz), flagged in Liberia

Well, i just realize it but this random still life is really what's up at home today ...

EDIT : Something else : The NAD C356 BEE is presently running 30% power ... Enough to warn the seagulls in Kergroise trade port ...
The Clipper 312M2 of course easily follows the stuff ... This building's carboard walls are seriously starting to take a solid slap ... Fuck it ...

Yahooo !
