Cat320DL · « **Reply #183 on:** October 22, 2011, 00:46:21 »

That is a old pic's of the Bluenose. She was sold to the breakers in 2010. So she is most likely by now long gone

I don't think much to their website- half of it is under construction. Ironic, really.

May they rest in peace.
Your service will not be forgotten.
Interesting note :
Apparently, a condition of the sale of the vessels was that they be broken up at a IMO yard that has green credentials. Now, Last time I checked, alang had non of these...

Rbsanford · « **Reply #189 on:** October 31, 2011, 23:56:26 »

so what exactly are green credentials?

That's easy to find out by a certain search engine.

Â£2.2 million each... for scrap. That's impressive. I hope alang gets a move on as with the global price of iron peaking (and most expect it to fall heavily) and now consumption being reduced...

China, one of the biggest importers of scrap iron, has masses of the stuff now... Expect to see worldwide demand fall imminently.

If scrap prices fall too quickly, alang will make massive losses.

danny · « **Reply #195 on:** November 03, 2011, 17:53:52 »

Â£2.2mill for each of them? Holy moly....... Somone at alang has deep pockets!
Personnally I hope the price's crash, so that alang goes under, although the impacts worldwide would be monumental.

clanky · « **Reply #196 on:** November 03, 2011, 18:25:27 »

Have seen a few ships for sale to breakers at around $150 / ton recently, while there are abviously other factors which affect the overall price the steel cost is by far the biggest issue.

Cat320DL · « **Reply #197 on:** November 03, 2011, 18:26:06 »

They where worth more $ then that.
But the is what alang got them for.

Kyle

clanky · « **Reply #198 on:** November 03, 2011, 18:32:19 »

They are only worth what someone will pay for them, the heap of junk that I am on at the moment is on the market for $65, that doesn't mean she is worth that, as is evidenced by the fact that no-one will buy the bloomin' thing and put us all out of our misery.

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #199 on:** November 03, 2011, 18:39:31 »

$65? Wow a bargain

I'll give them 64.99 xD
