I do wonder about that yacht, because it looks very familiar to me...

Well I did some research on Shipspottin.com and I was looking at some yachts with build year 2012 and in dutch waters and I saw a yacht with a name Oceanco Y703 also a very impressive yacht but i suddenly remembered that in the yacht her AIS name was Oceanco so I searched Oceanco and I found this!

http://www.shipspotting.com/gallery/photo.php?lid=1604964
she is build at Oceanco in Alblasserdam and she is called Oceanco Y708 and isnt it a beauty  

http://www.shipspotting.com/gallery/photo.php?lid=1676186
here seen leaving Scheveningen at her sea trials and the name is probably a secret because a big thing is hanging over it so you cant see it, here home port will be George Town.
http://www.shipspotting.com/gallery/photo.php?lid=1675909
with an impressive length of 85.5M will she have some more pics soon on ship spotters forums.

today I opened the local newspaper and I saw an article about the yacht she came here because there was a problem with the bow truster, the yacht costs 86 Million Euros (almost 1 million euro for 1 meter of ship) the name is a secret so I cant tell you ( I now the name but dont tell it to anyone SO ALSO NOT VIA PM!!)

[michael_taal]

some history from Scheveningen has arrived yesterday evening
this is the Green Klipper (ex- Orange Klipper from Jaczon, yes they do more than fishing they have 2 or 3 from the biggest reefers)







The Jaczon star is still on it (stil a little bit of proud for the "Scheveningers" (the people who live in Scheveningen))


yes she has an logo from Seatrade on the funnel but that is because Jaczon owns a piece of Seatrade,  well better said Cornelis Vrolijk owns Seatrade for a piece (because Cornelis Vrolijk owns Jaczon and Jaczon owns a piece from Seatrade)

I had an excursion to London and did go with the ferry and made some pictures from other ships, on the trip to England I was onboard the Pride of Brittain it is a very lovely and nice ship just like her sister.

[michael_taal]

did a big trip last monday on my bicycle, I cycled from Scheveningen to Hook of Holland (20,3KM) and then from Hook of holland to Maassluis (I stopped somewhere in the middle between Maassluis and Vlaardingen) I cycled a total off 65KM  
I enjoyed the trip very much only the wet weather was annoying
 




Union Boxer with the Vikingbarge 5 and the En Avant 21 as stearing tug (this is the reason why I was cycling to Maassluis because she already passed Hook of Holland)

Nice photos! those people have awesome views!

[michael_taal]

SD Rebel waiting for the Chemical Marketer

former dutch Coast Guard vessel Com R


and there was the ship where I waited for the Flandria Seaways still missing her everytime I go to the port of Scheveningen but I was so stupid to cycle to the other side from Maasluis (I was standing near Vlaardingen) and I could only photograph here when she took the corner at Vlaardingen and when she had passed Maassluis (stupid trains) but from every fault you learn so next time better  

[michael_taal]

Nice photos! those people have awesome views!

Also i think their called '"Sea Cadets''.

thankyou,
hmm Sea Cadets such a simple word that I couldnt remind that from my own
And so they are all those old tugs just in front of your house, but if I didnt saw the Hudson I would never took these photos because I was already underway to Vlaardingen but I missed also 1 thing and that is the Arie Visser she was in the dock where the Voyager and RWS 78 were docked, if I cycled more to the dock I probably could photograph here too.
but next time better next vacation (end March) I will try to cycle the same route but now to Vlaardingen and then hoping there would be much more traffic.

[michael_taal]

A nice and sunny Sunday it was for the Norwegian Breakaway! 

[saltydog]

Great pictures. The lifeboats look interesting 

[VirtualSkipper]

Great pictures. The lifeboats look interesting 

Thanks. It also occurred to me that even the lifeboats have a bulbous bow these days.

[saltydog]

Actually, I meant they seem to have a different design-mechanism of the davits. Perhaps to allow the lifeboats to be lowered when the ship is listing more than 15 degrees (i.e. Costa Concordia)

[VirtualSkipper]

Ah yes, they were rather sticking further out than usual compared to other cruise ships I've seen.
