I was praying that she would arrive wednesday (because that is my free day of school), but sadly it did not happen, so the only thing way I could see her was on the webcam.
but I am now asking my dad to go for a little drive to the Maasvlakte 2, I definitly want to see her once.

By the way here is a link to my youtube channel: https://m.youtube.com/channel/UC2b2Ub7cH35SwMVTkz1kY9g

Had these sitting in a folder for a few months now...

If I would look back on the total of ships I had spotted until now, I can say for sure... The Oasis is HUGE! I even had trouble finding spots to get some decent pictures of (mostly) the whole thing. I never thought this ship would even come close to any of of our Dutch ports because of its sheer size....

But enough chit-chat, here are the pictures. After waiting patiently for 5 years now!  :)

I am pretty sure that if the scheepsvaartinspectie were to see that 3rd photo then the captain would be in big trouble.

Like most Dutch / Belgian dredgers, she is ridiculously overloaded.

I agree with that, but in The Netherlands, Belgium and some other countries it is legal to load the dredger so deep, dredgers have a so called "baggermerk" (dredging mark).
It is the same mark as a Plimsoll but with the dredging mark you can load much more.

The reason dredgers are allowed to load so deep is that they can dump their load in just a few seconds.

And they must be within 20M of the coast or 24hours away of a safe harbor

a so called dredge mark.

Hey CC - things are good thanks!

She was finally righted on Thursday and towed back to Southampton

I must be mad though - I heard from my mum she had grounded at about 1am, and booked coach tickets by 1:30 for Southampton  :doh:

Ah good to know things are going too! And that must be annoying comming to see the vessel only to find your too late!
Anyway I'm so glad I'm not on the ferry today...

Hello, Peoples! Went over to Holland on Stena Hollandica and back on Stena Britannica, and as a Birthday Treat, I got taken down to the Engine Room on Stena Britannica and in the Control Room, Thought i'd share some pictures on here  :)
