I like the way the afternoon sun light up the "Olympic Poseidon" last Friday. Makes the formes of the hull stand forward...
Today at around 1:00PM, the drill ship "West Navigator" came to Vestbase in Kristiansund for classing. They expect it will take three weeks, and there are so many people needed for that work that Vestbase has rented two floating hotels...., flotels, as they call it. One can be seen on the first picture here.
"IF GOD COULD MAKE ANGELS...., WHY IN HELL MAKE MAN?"
Two true sisters docked in Kristiansund this afternoon. Despite that, there are several small differences, if you look for them. Particular up on the bridge roof. (By the way; the top windows there, the penthouse so to speak, is crew restroom/dayroom. Nice....).
"Havila Mars" and "Havila Mercury"
"IF GOD COULD MAKE ANGELS...., WHY IN HELL MAKE MAN?"
Nice picture of the sisters! They are indeed very similar!

do you also know wherefor the ship is used,that there a so heave crane is placed.
She is a large multi-purpose Offshore Construction Vessel (OCV) able to lay pipelines, install jackets and deck structures and act as Dive Support Vessel. (DSV)
Biggest in her class. There were originally 4 vessels of this type on order, two of this size (180 m. Loa) and two somewhat smaller (153 m. Loa) but I'm not sure how many has actually been completed.
Here is an article taken from armoredd.com that may explain what she is all about:

Maritime Today
Drydocks World, the global maritime arm of Dubai World, announced the delivery of OSA Goliath, one of the world’s largest multi-purpose OCVs at its Drydocks World – Pertama yard on April 23.
OSA Goliath is built for Coastline Maritime, a prominent Singapore-based group with a 30-year history of vessel ownership design, construction and operation. The vessel dimensions are 590.5 ft by 105 ft by 39.5 ft and 22,000 dwt. It is equipped with DP-3 and a 2,000-tonne crane to install offshore platforms and pipelines in deep waters. In addition to OSA Goliath, Coastline has a similar vessel, Samson, currently under construction at the same shipyard, scheduled for delivery in the first quarter of 2010.
Terry Highlands, CEO of Coastline Maritime said, “Our ships, constructed at Drydocks World – Pertama yard, are the world’s largest multi-purpose offshore construction vessels. The projects could not have been realized without the focus on high safety standards, technical expertise and teamwork evident at the yard.”
Drydocks World - Southeast Asia, established in April 2008, is a member of the Drydocks World group of companies and sister operation to Drydocks World – Dubai (formerly known as Dubai Drydocks).
I took some pics of her while at the building yard, PT Pertama in Batam, earlier this year, but I haven't been able to find them yet. Will post if I do.
hello ombugge
according to this story there must be 2 of them, the goliath and the samson,under construction. read nothing more about other ships
but is it also a new ship
delivered on 23 april 09
the goliath is moored for a coupple of weeks now there,
i also read that the crane is placed in rostock,so why she is here ???
the mainboom has bin a coupple of days stand in a uprised position,so for testing it here is a little bit od,when he is placed in germany
arrival on 13-10 -09 departure:tomorrow 27-11-09
launched 4 august 09
there is a picture of her on the port side where she has a yellow tunnel
od a new ship and now already over painted there tunnel in a black toppeace
and white a side the bridge
http://www.portofrotterdam.com/nl/sc...week/index.jsp
There is indeed one more of the same size under construction at DD World, Batam. To be named Samson when delivered next year.
The two smaller ships were built at Pan-United, Singapore in 2003 and 2005 respectively.
Here is a pics of one of them:
Both vessels has most likely been sold by Coastline on completion from the yard, as is their style. The first is now named Azteca, while the sister ship is named Enterprise, I believe.
I don't really understand what this is all about. The crane was in place when I saw her several times at Batam earlier this year. (Sorry, still cannot find the picsthe goliath is moored for a coupple of weeks now there,
i also read that the crane is placed in rostock,so why she is here ???
the mainboom has bin a coupple of days stand in a uprised position,so for testing it here is a little bit od,when he is placed in germany
arrival on 13-10 -09 departure:tomorrow 27-11-09)
She is probably in Rotterdam preparing for job, or possibly waiting for one. (I wouldn't know which, since it is outside my "territory")
SORRY MY MISSTAKE,i readed wrong,the crane is deliverd by liebherr rostock
well i'am not much of an investigator so i don't know eather.

Another AHTS visited in Singapore a few days ago, POSH Viking:
Built in China 2008, Loa 70 m., 8,000 Bhp. 114.7 m.t. BP
POSH stands for PCL Offshore Services Holding, but among our knowledgeable CV members there would be many who knows the original meaning of this abbreviation and it's historical roots and reason??
"Port Out Starboard Home" old boy. For the wealthy, it's was the only way to travel - Blighty to India and return. By travelling POSH (and paying a premiun for the pleasure), passengers were on the cooler side of the ship in both directions.
This person is called Posh but, despite fantastic wealth, never will be, at least not as we now use the word.
That Chinese Viking vessel must be posh. I'm sure there's still some tread on one of the tyres.
Clipper
Yes, I knew there would be somebody with the right historical knowledge who could answer my questions.
I do agree that the modern day (and self-appointed POSH) isn't worthy of the title.
As for the ship with that pretentious name, she is nearly new and actually owned by a Norwegian company, but already a bit worn in places.
