Otherwise, never. Roy On HAL's remaining six "S" and "R"-class ships, lifeboats #1 and #2 are a bit smaller than the remainder. I'm talking lifeboats, not tenders. Since that class of ships do not have a dedicated fast rescue boat (last pics with Santa), lifeboats #1 and/or #2 are used for that purpose (but not as fast 😉 ). You can see one of them in the water for MOB drills 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's also the third HAL ship in a two week period to have gone through the new locks. All good stuff! If and when you ever get the low down on what happened to change the Canal's decision about allowing Koningsdam through, please let us know. Hopefully it was not for "humanitarian" reasons, which would indicate there are ill crew members in danger. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Essiesmom Posted April 11, 2020 #229 Share Posted April 11, 2020 And if you could tell us why Z & R did not run any lights during their passages... Koningsdam is doing 11.3 knots, faster than usual, so it looks to be another fast transit... She is already through Gatun Lake. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azzurro02 Posted April 11, 2020 #233 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Koningsdam should be visible on the Pedro Miguel Locks cam any minute now. She looks to be just now crossing under the bridge right before that cam location. https://multimedia.panama-canal.com/Webcams/cerro-luisa.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quartzsite Cruiser Posted April 11, 2020 #234 Share Posted April 11, 2020 (edited) Koningsdam can be seen on the Miraflores webcam just below the bridge.. The weather is not good so it is hard to spot her. She is just entering the channel for the new locks.

Well, the decision to make a left (north) as opposed to a right (south) hook shank upon leaving Fortaleza, Brazil was an unexpected one, according to K-dam crew onboard (she was set, rigged and ready to round the Horn and come up SA's left coast), as was the sudden acquiescence by Brazilian authorities to allow for bunkering in that same Fortaleza. It comes natural that there was $$ involved in both covenants, i.e. to pay the PCA for the transit y'all witnessed today, as well as the Fortaleza authorities to take on fuel. Any additional wampum that was quite possibly, maybe, perhaps associated with these dealings rests with Jimmy Hoffa's present domicile, meaning I have no clue 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
