@posro1988, the ship (Norilskiy Nickel) was only registered to Helsinki during the initial journey. After the ice trails it was re-registered to a Russian port.

[posro1988]

@Renatodonadio yes I know, but should't names be written in latin alphabet if registered in finland, nyk has their ship names written in english with japanese characters below that

[Renatodonadio]

@posro1988 Maybe registering in Helsinki is cheaper, do you know how many ships are registered at Panama or Monrovia (Liberia) even being sailed by european companies?

[posro1988]

@ 2:04 port of registry is helsinki nut ship's name is in cyrillic?

@helstontvx do not recall saying it was special? however it was 'special' in the fit out installation and rectification and the size of installation two of the largest DC motors ever built GEC/ALstom...my Father commissioned it. bit of trivia, on its trial it lost a bearing that was delivered via a Nimrod.

Please lets not get all bitchy we are commenting because we enjoy engineering right?

@helstontvx, QE2 was refitted with diesel-electric propulsion in the mid-1980s. Diesel-electric ships have been around since the Second World War, so it wasn't anything special.
