Stafhunter can you be a bit more specific? Where exactly did you see this vessel? Was it still anchored or on its way?

That must be the Vera! I saw it was anchored last night in Antwerp, on the "ships SBS".

edit: Vera still in Antwerp according to "SBS"

According to marinetraffic the MV Vera should still be moored in the port of Antwerp as of this moment.

Are you absolutely sure? I just had contact with the shipping company and the transport is still on for Monday. Yesterday the Dynamica was unloaded at Lampertheim and it will sail back. The Vera is slightly smaller, so they prefer the Dynamica to move these Chinooks.

It may be wise to check the calender before responding...... April fools day joke perhaps?

Hello all,

These are no jokes anymore for 1 April....

Stafhunter, can you pay for the fuel to the guys who went to Antwerpen?

Best regards,
