but, as you say, very expected indeed.

I believe THE EMERALD has at least one season left but this can always change with Louis.

Best,

So IVORY cannot be registered there. Digital Seas was showing it several days ago, but appears someone has input the info incorrectly. Perhaps St Helena & St Kitts are next to each other on a 'drop down list' so would be easy to get the wrong one.

------------------
Digital Seas has an awful lot of ships showing as registered in St Helena, of which there are many I can see just with a quick glance that are not; the Zhen Hua vessels, Dalmacija, Apollon .... something is very wrong with their listings.

Winner 5 is arrived at Alang yesterday (officialy):

2/3 Winner 5 Shreeji Pass 9664 103

She is scheduled to be dismantled at Plot #103

Honey Ship Breaking Co. previously occupied by NENA M.V.

It is very interesting how you get such up to date information about ships being beached when you say you are in Paris.

You even know what ship was on the plot before the arrival of Winner 5 !

On the ss Maritime website it is thought that you are based in India, not Paris, which would account for all this indirect support for the classifications held by the breakers at Alang and also knowing so much information about the breakers plots at Alang !

With these posts there does seem to be a lot of info being published on an increase in the safety aspects of the ship breaking work at Alang, and all from one source !

Maybe he is one of the owners of a breakers yard !

Either way it is good that someone is taking the time to update us all on what is going on at the breakers yards !

As usual you are off thread.

You should stick to flying !

And you see that winner 5 has been beached during the night (for me) at plot 103.

Your friend Goossens has only not the right sources.
Who owns the plot 103:

The poster has already said what he does and who he works for, if it was correct

It was correct. I have describe in my previous post how I collect informations, but I have also contact - as Peter Knego - from Alang. Without doing business with Alang in any case.

The strategic one step-back from R. Goossens is not the first one. He went to far, writes inaccurate and crude posting (remember the "doctored photographs" of Blue Lady bow cutting) and then he find a trick to justify what it is not able to be justified. No he states he is not an expert in ISO standards; well I have seen it!

But when you are working, writing so direct sentences about Alang ship-breaking industry, you have just to know a little what ISO standards means. When a certification group gives an ISO 30 000, you can trust me that the receiver was and is compliant at the time of the certification and that he will be periodically controlled. It's the same for ISO9001/14001. Even in India !!!! In ISO you have "I" for international...

Or this man has no news at all and pick information from the web (where a lot a voluntary inaccurate or outdated writing, photographs are published) or his only source is BAN. And BAN India is a good idea, but an idealist idea. I respect Gopal Krishna work, but he is not objective, realistic and he is doing a melting pot between the worst plots and plots that are compliant with international standards (ISO).
