An unidentified Sietas-built coaster at Piraeus in October 1999. Any details welcome.

 

 

Hi, this is the Georgios S, when you took a photo of hers. She later became the Naftilos, IMO 6619762. As you rightly said she is the Sietas 577 built as the Wega in 1966.

[Humbersmith]

Many thanks for the information.

Another unidentified coaster from October 1999. GEMINI is registered in La Paz.

 

On another note, are you absolutely sure about the name of that one? 

[Humbersmith]

Apologies. I believe she is the FRINI (IMO 5209417).

[Nick the Greek]

Cool, cause under the name Gemini I could not find anything remotely matching your photograph. Keep them coming though, happy to help with identification projects

[Nicksy58]

Could it be this one? Petros H

Is the Agios Georgios ( ex Olympus) going to be working this year? 

[proud_ionian]

She'll be back in action next Monday.

Do we know the outcome of the shipping ministry's decisions on who gets to operate what ferry route this summer? 

[Humbersmith]

Good morning. 

I note that PROTUG 18 is approaching Aliaga with a tow from Agios Nikolaos, Kriti. Could it be the DOLGORUKI?

[Petros P]

Good morning........the cement carrier KLEVSTRAND (IMO 7034969) arrived at Rethymnon on 25th November last year. I have seen one source quoting her as MYRA II but have yet to find any confirmation of this in official registers or on AIS. Any information appreciated.

She is at port of Rethymno .

Her name is AGIOS ANTONIOS 

[Humbersmith]

Good evening.....thanks for the information. She looks in good shape.

[TomJ]

Is there any news about the fate of Prevelis and Aqua Blue?
Many thanks.

[Humbersmith]

PROTUG 18 is currently en route to Aliaga with a tow from Carloforte. Any information on the towed vessel would be welcome

[Nicksy58]

No idea. But it's not the MOBY Vincent, that one arrived yesterday evening at Aliaga.

My thoughts as well. Possibly ARBATAX which has been inactive since the New Year

[Nicksy58]

It is indeed the Arbatax.

[Humbersmith]

Thanks for the confirmation.

Good evening,

CHRISTOS XXXV arrived off Aliaga yesterday with a tow from which looks to have originated in Ambelaki. Any info on the scrap vessel is welcome.

Did the moderators recently change the security settings of Shipfriends? I can no longer view it through Google Translate. I get stuck on some page saying I need to verify that I am a human, but can't proceed any further from there.

[r2d2]

While we did not change anything that could be related to this bug, I also tried using my Google Translate for a few topics, and it worked without any issues. 

It may be overuse of the service from your IP or even your browser.

If it helps, I'd recommend trying with another browser and let us know or use a similar (much better service, in my opinion) called Deepl 

[JonB72]

Thanks for the advice, r2d2. I have switched to browsing with MS Edge, and its built in translator is translating just fine.
