Star Class Yacht Transport Ship in Trouble

Pretty practical colour for a work boat, too. Worth salving at a $6 m price tag, too.

Good on 'em.

If we ever switch to the dark side, I’d be quite happy with something like that....the room on the back deck for a hammock or a picnic table is wonderful!!

I'm reminded of all the times folks here on CF have advised shipping one's yacht rather than having it delivered in order to reduce wear and tear...

Looks like a very successful salvage, could have easily been an environmental disaster had she wound up on the rocks, well done.

Salvage crews tow drifting Dutch freighter to port in Norway

A joint Norwegian-Dutch salvage operation has managed to safely tow to land an abandoned Dutch cargo ship that had been adrift off the coast of Norway.

The Eemslift Hendrika, a Netherlands-registered ship designed to carry large boats, securely docked in port late in the afternoon in the western city of Alesund.

“It’s a happy ending to an event. We are always happy when things go well, so it’s a good feeling,” said Captain Sverre Aas from the Norwegian Coast Guard, as quoted by the Norwegian public broadcaster NRK.

The Norwegian Coast Guard posted photos on Twitter on the moored Eemslift Hendrika in Alesund.

The ship’s crew of 12 was rescued by helicopter late on Monday after a power outage in its main engine. The Norwegian Coastal Administration, based in Alesund, launched a salvage operation late on Wednesday as it became clear that churning seas could make the drifting ship crash into the shore.

The vessel has substantial quantities of diesel and fuel in its tanks, which could have caused an environmental disaster. Norwegian maritime authorities issued an emergency alert late on Wednesday and started preparations in case of an oil spill.

The Eemslift Hendrika was adrift in the area where the North Sea and Norwegian Sea meet. Salvage experts were lowered onto the sharply listing ship on Wednesday to attach towing ropes to waiting tug boats.

One large boat aboard the deck of the six-year-old cargo ship fell off in heavy seas on Tuesday but was found by the Norwegian Coast Guard and secured to another tug boat.

This motor yacht i don't know data about this yacht.
Transport paid for this 12-meter sailboat is exact 10000€
But insurance cover all also for example 5000€ for the personal staff of the owner if broken.

You seem to have taken me seriously. Sometimes that isn't valid...
