Something I wanted to do for some time. Boring hobby yes. Nothing else to do ... no .. But for some reason I find these monster boats fascinating. They play a very important role in our day to day life and still we take them for granted. At best we do not even pay close attention to where they have been and where they are going. How heavy are they and how fast do they sail. How deep water do they need to float. Well I have decided to Blog and log my boring hobby.
My First Victim (Mariner) ... No this will be the one that I am going to wait for upon arrival to take a picture of. Still got some time to get everything ready though. This Monster is expected in the Richards Bay harbor on 2010-06-11 at around 10:00 flying The Malta Flag. This Cargo Carrier has a dead weight of 26605 t and was recorded on her last voyage reaching a maximum sailing speed of 12.8 knots and an average speed of 11.4 knots.
With a over all length just more than one and a half Rugby fields (167m) she has a berth of 26m. With a draft of 9.9 meter she is one of the older ships built in 1984. She can load an impressive 15766 of dry Cargo and is en route to Gibraltar.
