This vessel is 24/7 standby in Scheveningen for rescue operations or other work, currently they are working on the rig Noble Linda Bossler a few miles out of the coast by Hook of Holland, they are waiting for better weather because the rig has to be positioned very carefully.

I most liked the last one! Do you have some sort of permission to get this close at the dock?

michael_taal · « **Reply #1178 on:** February 17, 2014, 21:58:09 »

thankyou, it was meant to be sarcastic, I canÂ´t remember that it was so busy in the harbor (even with Christmas last year is was not so busy, and that is just the period that all the trawlers go home).

Some pictures from an hour ago, hope you like them.

The reason for this circus is the Nuclear Security summit where 53 leaders from different country's will come to.

Here you can see how high the masts from the Rainbow Warrior are, the STC building next to it is 14 floors high, the masts from the Rainbow Warrior came around the 11th and 12th floor.

Hi all, a few images from me, taken last weekend (May 17th & 18th) in Southampton. We went down this weekend for a few things, but I managed to persuade the parents that this weekend was an especially good weekend to go as on the Saturday there would be six cruise ships in.

We arrived at Calshot around 14:30 to see the first two cruise ships leave, here's what greeted us by blasting away from the pier.

Then, after checking up on the Southampton VTS planned movements, the ships that were supposed to leave at 14:30 were changed to 16:30 and 18:30! So we went for a walk along the spit and I took my camera and snapped these along the way:

Causeway, a Suction Hopper dredger, was working just off the end of the spit for most of the day, on the exit of Southampton water, and left when the cruise ships began making their way down the channel.

After going to do the other stuff we planned, we returned at 16:30 to see off the cruise ships. First through was P&O's Oceana, one of two P&O ships that day. You could actually hear the sailaway party on board, which was funny.

Before the next cruise ship came through, another dredger, Shoreway, that had been working all day up by Fawley, departed:

Next, Independence of the Seas came through:

Then, I managed to be in the right place at the right time to get this one:

Next up, Black watch, one of two Fred Olsen ships in:

Then, there was an hours wait until the next cruise ships left their berths, these images were taken then:

Red Eagle, a ship simmer's favourite:

Not sure what this is - the guy we were sat with (who's VHS we were listening to) said that is was like a Norfolk sail vessel?

Then, my personal star of the show arrived! Aurora is my favourite cruise ship, she's just - perfect!

(https://www.flickr.com/photos/124696915@N03/14218730381/)

Side view, with the Harbour Master. the Harbour Master had just dropped a motorboat off at the pier, his engine failed mid-channel as Aurora approached!

And just as the parents forced me back into the car to leave, I could just snap Balmoral as she approached:

Unfortunatley, MSC Opera, the sixth vessel, was only just leaving her berth, and we had to get the the camp site so I wasn't able to see her, but oh well

Hope ya like them!

Not sure, I guess michael_taal has either moved the images to a new gallery or deleted them?
