TOKYO, Aug 12 (Reuters) - A Panamanian-registered ship ran aground in a northern Japan harbour, then split in two and was leaking oil, but there were no injuries among the 21 crew and the oil leak was being controlled with no signs it had reached shore, the Japan Coast Guard said.

The 39,910-tonne vessel, the "Crimson Polaris," was carrying wood chips when it ran aground on Wednesday morning in Hachinohe harbour. It managed to free itself, but due to poor weather was unable to move far and ended up anchoring about 4 km (2.4 miles)out from the port.

It didn’t seem to take that much for the back end of that ship to snap off…

Probably because Bahnhof Strasse was the one who fixed it after a previous accident.

When they sink in high seas suddenly, that's how it usually happens. Snaps at the back, goes down very quickly. Sometimes just disappears

More welding/grinding porn tbh
The bit where they sculpt, mould and cast their own prop blades out of bronze is very nice.

Incredibly for a DIY project of this scale, the Seeker is now complete (enough) and going to launch. Currently being driven through Tulsa, OK to the inland port of Catoosa as we speak

Good opportunity to weld a few more sections in there and make it longer.

That's actually quite an unusual failure for a bulk carrier. The ship has 5 holds and it's failed between nos. 4 and 5. The usual old bunker failure is the sideshell plating falling off in holds 1 or 2 due to a combination of corrosion and fatigue.
She had a Class renewal survey in June, so she should have been thoroughly inspected.
The grounding must have been pretty bad.

I’ve just been watching the adverts for this, I know it isn’t a ship, but it’s beautiful in its ugliness, now all I need is the money

Looks very robust. Is it a whaler? This is the last one , the Charles Morgan at the Mystic Seaport museum- which is excellent by the way - your picture isn’t this one, but when I went on board it was noticeable how strong it was compared to say the Cutty Sark or the East Indiaman they have in Amsterdam. More like a warship - Constitution or Victory… because of the ice it had to deal with.

Sorry if already posted but this is the Ukrainian vessel MV Arvin, 46 year old bulk carrier, snapping and sinking just outside port in Georgia on the Black Sea. Six seafarers lost their lives despite several mayday calls and other vessels within sight.

Sadly it's made it through. We'll have to hope something goes wrong on the return trip.

I wonder how it is attached to the prop shaft?
All looks a bit smooth in the middle for power transmission.

It’s phosphor bronze so possibly an interference fit, heated and shrunk on, rule of thumb, one thousandth of an inch on prop shaft diameter for each inch of bore on propeller. But there are some incredible adhesive applications available these days.

Isle of Man: Cargo ship freed in overnight operation

A ship which became stranded on the Isle of Man has been freed after a second rescue attempt.

That's not far off the route it should have been taking for a passage round the northern most point in the Isle of Man.

It did take one of the big tugs from Liverpool helping a local one [from Laxey] to pull her (& the 1,200 ton cargo of grain) off the beach, then she was towed to Douglas for divers to inspect the hull ...

I wonder what the response to the "Please Explain" how you ended up running her ashore looked like ?

I guess parking the ship on the beach is probably quite far off its intended route.

I guess parking the ship on the beach is probably quite far off its intended route.

Not really, the route around to Belfast passes quite close to the shore. But not that close, and the ship is sort of facing the wrong way on an east facing beach (more southerly than northerly, IYSWIM)

 

[hash tag]

This is terribly sad and perhaps it should have been left where it was. I see that the Ruskin Museum are doing their best to exploit it. 'So be it' - Restored hydroplane might have to be dismantled

 

[StoneRoad]

I know Bill Smith slightly, and I suspect that, yet again, there is some distinct point-scoring and "politics" going on in background with the dispute(s) over K7 ...

I would say, though, that getting her in and out of the Ruskin would be less than easy.
Nor have the Lake District been helpful with allowing her to blatt around on the water.
She has to be going at a fair speed to "get up on the plane" ...

The latter is why K7 ended up in Scotland on "proving trials" ...

definitely not porn, but I thought this school bus I saw in a shipyard today was cute

During his sentence he can think about a less conspicuous smuggling method for next time. A Jamaican-flagged boat with just him and five Nicaraguan men on it...well, that won't invite any speculation will it? In a former life the boat was one of these:
