The TSHD Geopotes 15 docked this noon for some repairs in 1 of the 2 bowtrusters (A steel cable was sucked into the bowtruster)

bow connection, for connecting the pipe or rainbowing

nice big bridge and a huge "fishbowl"

dredging head with the jetnozzles

serviceframe, make it possible that the suction pipe can run, the frame can supply anything like oil (for the gimballs or active visor), water (for the jetnozzles) and/or electricity for the underwater pump (if the ship has one)

crushing piece, makes it possible that the dredging head can break off the suction pipe if it gets struck behind something underwater (like a rock or wreck), the cable makes sure that the dredging head will not get lost.

gimball, makes it possible that the suction pipe can move horizontal and vertical

Thankyou,

After a lot of commotion about the Pieter Schelte her name Allseas decided to rename her to Pioneering Spirit (personally I liked the former name more, except from the history behind the name)

A small story behind the name that caused the commotion, she was named after Pieter Schelte Heerema, a former Waffen-SS officer who lived from 1908 till 1981

Today the former PH-110 Wiron 1 arrived after been layed up for almost 10 months in Stellendam waiting for a buyer.

Now she is back as the H-180 Altlantic Lady (homeport Hull), she will go for some trials and then maybe she will be sold.

the company logo is still on the funnel.

The SCH-6 Alida

The Barend Biesheuvel (coastguard) and the Atlantic lady.

tomorrow more pictures, tonight the FC-716999 Sandettie will arrive + the H-171 Cornelis Vrolijk Fzn will also arrive (hopefully not in the evening, this will be the first time ever that a ship from Cornelis Vrolijk will arrive at Scheveningen (an 80% of their fleet has as homeport Scheveningen)

2 hours ago I got a message for a person in the water at the north breakwaters, when I arrived at the scene it came clear that it was a surfer who was tired due to the stream.

a lot of units were send to the scene

Luckily the surfer did not had to be transported to a hospital.

Here i am again, the H-171 Cornelis Vrolijk Fzn left the harbor this afternoon heading for the fishing grounds, it was not the best weather but maybe it is the only time this vessel will dock in Scheveningen.

Good afternoon,

Some photos from my old days on the road. This time from Portsmouth UK to Le Havre in France on the Norman Voyager ferry. 6 Hours sailing time.

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #1334 on:** February 25, 2015, 21:26:54 »

Nice pics of the Norman Voyager

here i am again, it was the perfect day today to fly with my drone and luckily the trawler SCH-6 Alida came in this afternoon.

connecting the stern to the tug Oceaan II

connected

say hello to the camera

and she is in, I am not allowed to go further in the harbor, outside the breakwaters it is okay but inside it is illegal

next pictures are made with my phone, so the quality is not so good.

I see that you have a small helicopter for the camera (I don't know how it is called) Where did you buy it from and was it expensive?

It is called a drone, I have bought is second hand.
It is quite expensive if you buy one new (The drone itself is not so expensive but al the other things on it).

Some of the products that makes him expensive:
Dji Phantom 2 â‚¬650
Gimball H3-3D â‚¬350
Gopro hero 3 black â‚¬378
Monitor around the â‚¬300

Total â‚¬1678

The ARM-20 Geertruid Adriana going to sea

a first visit for the FC-716900 Prins Bernhard to Scheveningen in her life (she is the former SCH-72 Prins Bernhard, homeport Scheveningen).
2 times Fecamp (FC) in the harbor the FC-716900 Prins Bernhard and the FC-716999 Sandettie.

The Prins Bernhard a few hours before leaving to the fishing grounds

And there she goes, she suddenly came out of the fog, taken from the Estrella.

The brandnew Seismic guard vessel 7-Stars from "Groen"

A freshly painted bow (for now)

The Eendracht arrived this afternoon in the harbor during on of the .... STC-journeys, all the 1st years will go 4 days with the Eendracht to a unknown harbor (mostly: Flushing,Scheveningen,Den Helder of Great Yarmouth).

The Sandettie is empty and almost ready to go to the shipyard

michael_taal · « **Reply #1348 on:** April 10, 2015, 19:21:53 »

today in the afternoon the brandnew vessel 7-stars was christened by Rederij Groen.

"Henk Groen" the owner of Rederij Groen

The shipbuilder from Maaskant shipyards

The champagne was smashed to the hull of the vessel

a toast to the new vessel

nice vessel to look at (in my opinion)

The Estrella came back yesterday from the shipyard for her annual survey and some fresh paint, she looks very nice again with some fresh paint.
