Hi Nikos,

I've just joined this forum, but have been enjoying four posts on yahoogroups for quite a while.

Where did the ROD (ex-RODOS) go? Did she already leave for the scrappers?

Brgds.

Ralph

[Nick the Greek]

Greetings Ralph,

Unfortunately i have no idea on whether she is still at the anchorage. I presume though that she must have already left, will visually check over the next couple of days and revert.

[Nick the Greek]

More on the Rod, she is no longer in Piraeus anchorage. Presumably she has sailed to the breakers, the same does not apply for the Pat though, she is still at a local shipyard.

On a much more important note and as reported today in the Greek section, the Express Apollon(former Senlac) has apparently been sold to undisclosed -as yet- buyers with her delivery to them being imminent. More info as they come.

Hi Friends of the ships cruising greek archipelagos ;-) Where would it be possible to get those nice ships for Virtual Sailor VS7, mentioned and shown in this thread (Ferries for passengers and cars), if they are free for the public? Greetings from Germany!

[Nick the Greek]

Greetings, I would suggest you send personal messages to the creators of the models in case anyone is willing to share. Such downloads are not available in the site.

[newship2001]

Dear Mr. Nick the Greek,

Can you please inform us when you will be able again to update your very informative and valueable file with all the shipping info about Pireaus, Perama, Drapetsona, etc.?

Is ther may by some body who nose more about this accident .

In the last of the mond juni the Greek tugboat from the Gigilinis Group arrived in Holland to pick up a tow job. The job was to tow the river pushboat Rhenus Schub 2 from Holland trough de Mediterean sea Blacksea to the begynning of the river Donau .Because this push boat was tho big tho use the Rhine Donau channel. Normally this kind of river pushboats wil be liftet on a seagoing barge or ship , because its to riskey to tow it over the sea. But this time the towning the Rhenus Schub on her self . But the 4juli on the South of Italy in the Meditarean sea some things happend en the Rhenus Schub was sinking to 250 meters tho the bottom of the sea.

The Europe arrrived Holland.

The Europe with the Rhenus Schub on her way to the sea , the pushboat back the Rhenus Schub only use on the river. On the sea only the Europe

Is ther mayby some body who nose more abbout this accident , story pictures of this towning on sea or the accident.

I have a litt more information about sinking of the RHENUS Schub. This information (But the 4juli on the South of Italy in the Meditarean sea some things happend en the Rhenus Schub was sinking to 250 meters tho the bottom of the sea.) Is incorrect.

The posisjon while the Rhenus is going tho te bottom is 3.6.2008 Southewest from the Greece Islandl Sapienza (Pelepones) . I am very interest in pictures of it.

Hi, Thanks from your help and photos from "Menhir". I want to understand and know that, if we can use the photos from the shipfriends in other places, or if we must ask firstly to the owner of the photo.

Also i want to invite all Greek and others shipfriend to visit this Portuguese blog about ships http://sergiocruises.blogspot.comWe also acept news or photos to publish, and also we can send photos from ships in Portugal. Our main objective it's to share information about ships!

Best Regards, from Portugal!

I already are missing the "Lobo Marinho" but it seems in bad situation know...

[Panagia Ekatontapiliani]

Welcome back.

I think it’s more proper to ask each member who belong the photo, if he/she agrees to use his/her photo in other internet sites or forums. You can come in contact with each member via a personal message (pm).

If he/she agrees then you can use the photo in other sites via direct link in the gallery or by uploading the same photos, but you should mention users name and the source.

For example if you choose one of my photos, you should mention my nickname Panagia Ekatontapiliani, www.shipfriends.gr.

I have a quick look in your Portuguese blog, it seems quite interesting. We hope that we can co operate to produce information for ships that we have common interests.

[barconauta]

Hi again,

Of course, that we can colaborate. Our objective it's to share information about ships and to know more about them, because somethimes we lost them, because they go operate so far our country. And this form we can know here they are and know something about them.

If you need photos from ships, from Portugal if we can find them no problems to send them!

Concerning to photos owners, in our blog we usually put their name and link to their page. We will do the same when use photos from you! Thanks from share them whits us!
