No more my friend,.... with the new sexual harrassment policies, these are all gone, even from the computers.....

and I personally made sure of that...

Well things sure have changed. So I guess the ship chandlers stopped giving out the raunchy calendars?

I work for a company headquartered in Oslo Not BW Gas but it's client.. enough for you to know which one? heh..

Was living in Oslo half of 2008

You have a mail in your inbox...

Someone showed me this today:

Fascinating! For example, try selecting "Go to Port..." and then "[SG] Singapore" on the left; and then clicking on one of the vessels shown.

[Kyo]

That site is amazing, thanks jhm! It even has photos of the vessels!

This would be the world's largest in its class.... Length overall is 265 metres and the longest cargo space will be about 260 metres...

Kapitan, where is she being built and which operatic name will she have?

MHI, Nagasaki, and the name is as usual a "secret" until the naming ceremony...

This is the sister vessel.... delivered recently....

Thanks for the pic, kapitan. Do you have to visit MHI much ? I've been to Nagasaki (but not MHI) a few times - it's very charming and one of my favourite places in Japan.

Talking of MHI, the firm I work for just got instructed today in relation to a rather different ship proposed to be built by them (presumably in Nagasaki as well ?) for the client...

This is the first to be built by MHI for us..... one more sister to be delivered next year and two more smaller ones year after.... So will be going there a few times over the next 3 years...

Isn't M/V Tønsberg a Wilhelmsen vessel? Isn't there a split between the Norwegian and Swedish companies in terms of vessel management?

There are 4 of the same class ships built, 2 for us and 2 for Wil..... both managed from their own managing company.... but all goes into a common pool for commercial.....
