Fairmount Fuji

saltydog · « **Reply #1702 on:** August 02, 2009, 12:23:37 »

I reckon you're right Wave..

Go ahead..

Wave Music · « **Reply #1703 on:** August 02, 2009, 12:59:46 »

Shall I go, Salty, shall I?

What's her current & ex-name? She was owned earlier by TT-Line

saltydog · « **Reply #1704 on:** August 02, 2009, 14:28:29 »

Thanks for the clue..

The Al Mottadehedah, formerly the TT Delphin..

Wave Music · « **Reply #1705 on:** August 02, 2009, 14:40:40 »

That's right, SD. Perhaps without the former owner's name we'll have to wait for TFM & his final word.

Untill then: what is the popular name for this type of vessel..? (extra bonus for name of ferry)

Wave Music · « **Reply #1707 on:** August 02, 2009, 14:52:44 »

Catfoil

saltydog · « **Reply #1708 on:** August 02, 2009, 15:00:12 »

Allmost, it's a Foilcat..will you go for the bonus..?

Actually it's the first time I see a normal fast cat ferry like being "converted" in to hydrofoil. Nice idea though.

What's her name & type, who was the owner? It was like a French response to British SR.N4.

saltydog · « **Reply #1712 on:** August 02, 2009, 16:27:36 »

The CÃ´te d'Argent, Sedam type N500, built for SNCF..

Almost close. Côte d'Argent was the first of 2 N500 hovercrafts owned by SNCF & she was burnt out and scrapped before entering service. On my image it's the Ingénieur Jean Bertin
Your go, Salty.

saltydog · « **Reply #1714 on:** August 02, 2009, 16:47:59 »

Ok, what's the name of this unusual unit, and what is her function..?

Wave Music · « **Reply #1715 on:** August 02, 2009, 16:49:55 »

Floating bulk transfer terminal Isken.

saltydog · « **Reply #1716 on:** August 02, 2009, 16:52:26 »

Yes, worlds largest floating coal transhipper..

Wave Music · « **Reply #1717 on:** August 02, 2009, 16:56:03 »

I guess I'll skip my turn.

firestar12 · « **Reply #1718 on:** August 02, 2009, 21:00:11 »

Ok, hope you do not mind if I go next.

What was the name referring to all of these similar ships built by the white star line? A hint: The .

Wave Music · « **Reply #1719 on:** August 03, 2009, 10:18:50 »

What's her name? She's the main French Southern and Antarctic Territories support vessel. Based at Hobart in Tasmania and sails each summer to the various French Bases both on the Antarctic Continent and in the Southern Indian Ocean.

Wave Music · « **Reply #1720 on:** August 03, 2009, 11:06:45 »

SD? There're enough clue words to search.
