DEME dredgers rainbowing at Abu Qir Port, Egypt


As the Nordstream 2 pipeline project nears completion the Russian pipelayer AKADEMIK CHERSKIY is no more required and left the installation area. The 150m 29513gt vessel arrived at Kiel Aug 23rd for demobilization, including a partial deinstallation of the 145m stinger. Though her hull was launched at Tongzhou as early as 2007, financial problems delayed her delivery by Kwong Soon Eng. Co Ltd at Singpore until 2015 as JASCON 18. Soon later Gazprom acquired her for work in the Far East and in 2020 AKADEMIK CHERSKIY relocated to the Baltic in a move to replace the Allseas fleet due to the US sanctions related to the Nordstream 2 project.

Yes, that was the Hoosier State. Originally the Marine Arrow a C4-S-B5 design built in 1945. Became the Hoosier State in 1955. Scrapped in Taiwan in 1971.

Not many Royal Yachts left in active service, but here is one of them:


One of the last remaining Royal yachts is DANNEBROG, the yacht of the Danish Royal family of Queen Margrethe. DANNEBROG is named after the Danish flag and officially a part of the Danish Navy. The 78m yacht was delivered by the Danish Orlogsvarvet in 1932 and is usually anchored in the port of Copenhagen across from the famous Langelinie waterfront. However from time to time the yacht is underway and was spotted in perfect light approaching the Holtenau locks Sep 3rd returning to the Baltic from Esbjerg. The crew is on the deck for the manoeuvre, all dressed up in white uniforms. Photo : Martin Lochte-Holtgreven ©

She carries a heavy load on her back:
