What's in the name of the ship.
Tomislav Raymondi on Oct 08, 2012 02:16 (7 months ago)
As per the last news about the present status of this vessel which were published in the El Mercurio, Chilean newspaper the date 5th of October of 2012, it is stated that the Ship’s owners of have declared a Total Constructive Loss for this Ship, therefore the Hull Underwriters in London have resolved to apply for an international tender for the removal of the Ship from her grounding position,
Ship’s Owners took this decision, once they analyzed that the costs of the salvage and later repairs of the ships were higher than her value, thus they decided that the Underwriters assumed the control of the future of the ship.
On the other hand, the Chilean Maritime Authority declared through the speaker that the tender adjudication could occur within two weeks, the firm who wins shall have to present a complete and detailed working plan to the Maritime Authority for its approval before initiating any work.
This plan must consider the removal of the 30.000 MT of wheat and soya still stowed in the ship’s holds already with a high risk of decomposition, the scrapping of the vessel in situ or the refloating of the ship to be carried to the open seas for sinking her.

Kind Regards

Tomislav Raymondi.

Hi all
We have new information about the future of this ship, and are in the process of removal of cargo from the holds, so the fuel through hoses to the beach.

Thanks Paul
It has been several days since it ran aground on the beach and still no positive results for the rescue of the fuel as cargo, still swells and high waves, moreover, that this careening toward the beach and has been a movement of the minus 20 degrees, still waiting....
Paul Sullivan on Sep 08, 2012 02:45 (8 months ago)
Wow! Fantastic and dramatic picture! Thanks Juan.

Juan Carlos; that is a really excellent shot. - As you say, given her situation and the way the seas work here, it is difficult to imagine that she can be rescued from this position.

Hi Reg
If it is true that in the San Antonio Bay there's always a heavy swell, the times I've traveled to these shores the boat ride is always exciting, keep you informed in the coming days on what happens with this ship...
REG on Aug 17, 2012 14:37 (9 months ago)
I'm glad to hear they got the crew off safely. Hope they get the ship off too, before she breaks up and causes an oil spill. I've sailed along the Chilean coast and been to San Antonio. It's a nice place, with great fishing, and doesn't deserve to be fouled up with oil. Unfortunately, there's usually a pretty good swell running from the west in that part of the world, even when a storm isn't blowing.

Cedric
Is unlikely to be saved .. see what happens in the next few days..
Cedric Hacke on Aug 16, 2012 22:44 (9 months ago)
Let's hope she doesn't break apart due to the waves :s
Juan Carlos C. on Aug 16, 2012 20:50 (9 months ago)
We do not know when will be the boat on the beach, waves are anticipated for 6 more days
Dеnis on Aug 16, 2012 20:37 (9 months ago)
Tsk, tsk. Not good.
Stefan Niederer on Aug 16, 2012 20:37 (9 months ago)
