@infernodood3 thats her! how did u know?

[infernodood3]

@allistairc123 i live very close to the site that she ran aground at and i went to the beach where you could see her out at sea and where all the looting from her containers went on, i knew she had been blown in half but i found out the other day that her bow section had been town to belfast.

It's wierd the cranes, cos when your driving past them and ya think "oh that's not that high" but watching this your so high up. What's it like driving it?

[allistairc123]

you have to stand beside it to realise just how big they are. they are massive

[NRGhh]

Is that the Hss thats was used on the Harwich-Hook of Holland route? If so whats the plans for its disposal?

[ZiggyShadowDust08]

The Stena Discovery is been used for spare parts. Noticably the door that fell off the back of the Stena Voyager last February has been replaced by one off the back of the Discovery here, for example.

Her markings have just been removed.

[allistairc123]

[FirebrandNIRE]

Was called out to take a look at some faulty locks on the Swedish Energy Ship which was just just round the corner in the dry dock. Do u work in the dock?

Cheers.

ok, cool, no, we have an engineering company and we have done a fair bit of work for the yard, we actually bought a lot of the bigger machines from the old engine works, so have some contacts there that were able to arrange the trip for me!
