Give it a few years and sea level rise might make it float again.

this was a scary accident, fortunately no one was hurt, and the crane boom didn't fall out of the sky. I've worked on S7000 a couple of times, and seem another big crane fail its load test

It’s interesting

You like this stuff? I have to be carful only to post publicly available stuff

I can’t remember, was this posted at the time?



The ship ran aground in the north of Brazil due to a, shall we say, navigational error. The salvors had to remove tens of thousands of tons of cargo to refloat it, but it was to dangerous to take it anywhere, so it was scuttled.

She's bigger than she first seems. I think the hull colour and shape is what does it.

I'd have thought that by definition you can't sink a ship that's run aground

A bit of T-Cut, and it's all good.

Is there a marine version of "park like a prick" ?
If there is, that is a shoe-in for the weekly/monthly "best effort"

[& someone id going to be in the dog-house for that - very bad form to dunch the quay !]

That’s busy! It’s amazing that there’s not a single collision.

Some good berthing demonstrations there by the tall ships !

Looks way too busy for me to even consider taking part.

I'd be getting as far away as I could, as fast as I could too.

A mate of mine was a welder at a luxury boat building yard and I'm sure he said the boats they built were "about a million a foot" so that one that's gone up at "only" £6m sounds an absolute bargain basement model

 

[T & P]

Yeah, I was about to say that I'm neither rich nor have any knowledge of the cost of luxury yatchs, but I'd have thought something of that size must be at least £12- £15m

 

[StoneRoad]

Marina boss is not going to be impressed with that !

Quite a bit of collateral damage to the far quay, not to mention the floating mess and a sunk wreck to clear away.
