The recent launch of Lürssen is coming to B+V passing Wedel 22:30 PM Germany time. Seems as every recent delivery, after some sea trials, final adjustments to be made at the specialist of machinery... So she is im Hamburg tommorow for beeing appreciated... I will try to make pics, but the weather is terrible recently... Dock 10...

well, seems that the covered yacht inside dock is going to be all complete moved somewhere else... You can explain this us better, i suppose... I quite probably think, it is to be given space to 'Radiant' behind dock 11. Seems all now near Dock 4. If so, then Dock 4 is empty with at LH this dock with this yacht & RH with Nahlin covered in another smaller dock. Replans of Positions.
It is interesting to mention this Building u/c is the Crystal with top apartments in 20 floors - 70m... It is the reference... behind. WEB Source is in Pictures!
1. During Movement
2. Final Positions.

Tugs: Wilhelmine (rear), Bugsier17 (front), Bugsier18 (middle)
Fireboat: Oberbaurat Schmidt, helped the operation....

B+V is empty now in Docks 10 & 11 (ex-Rio Alster just left as MCC Shanghai new blue colors, but this is cargo and does not matter here...) Well what i want to mention is about the yachts over there. Mylin IV is on now, which means soon they are dismantling the cover in docks and going in Sea Trials. Let's see what they made with her then... I am anxious. The other 3 are 'on' also. So it means in Dock 5 the 'Military Corvette' is out, so empty now. I don't know what is inside dock 12. Anyway, i plan tomorrow with this better weather and temperatures here for a ride to see the developments over there as well a check how looks MSC Poesia. Maybe pic.s

1. ORCA: Inside Dock 5 since 25.05.'10 according those recent photos.

2. MSC POESIA, results after Refit sailing to Kiel: (€ 200 3 day^s^)
(For what i have seen for new Painting in exterior only, i liked much the service, seems all accurate done, at least close seen in a typical German raining day. Oh sucks how weather is here recently).

Many thanks Bill. Things recently, i mean last 2 weeks, went slow down. Port was almost empty during nights regarding 'passengers' 'things' happening here. I would say it is a quite good break.

I am sure crisis still continues hard strong for most, even me, just seeing some ships now.

This picture shows you very nice how things are. Forget the tourist boats & Ferries!
For the 4 yachts... always the same, beeing still closed worked on in same the docks...

HAMBURG SENSES 2010-06-08 10:00 2010-06-08 09:16 AM.

Two Intrigant Questions:

1. ECLIPSE: She is anchored in what seems a position strangely in Finkenwerder Channel. Why she is there after a small ride in river yersterday foggy & rainy night? I tried to spot!

2. SENSES: For what about those news below taken from other site, why she came to Hamburg and is berthed besides Cap San Diego Museum Ship then? Because if she didn't come to B+V yards like neither Lürssen Radiant did, why both came to Hamburg then?

Superyacht Senses Completes £1 Million Refit
Testbank Ship Repair, a Southampton-based ship refit and repair yard, has successfully completed a £1 million refit of superyacht Senses.
.Testbank Ship Repair spent three months renewing the £44 million luxury superyacht Senses. The 59m German built vessel is spacious enough to house a separate 40ft yacht inside with inflatable launch and two helipads.

Most of the refit was carried out at the Testbank Ship Repair facility in Portsmouth Harbour, using the company’s 1,000 tonne Rolls Royce syncrolift; one of the biggest of its kind in the south of England. The yacht's final checks and trials completed at the Southampton Docks.

After enclosing the superstructure, aft deck and boat house, the team replaced all fittings and carried out a series of protective measures alongside repairs to caulking and teak deck boards. All of superyacht Senses’ areas were sanded down, refilled and repainted with her black water tank renewed.

Up to 30 Testbank staff were at work on the refit at any given time, led by Technical Director Brian Needle and Works Manager Steve Beck.

Testbank Managing Director Jason Coltman said: “It is without doubt the biggest yacht we have ever worked on in Portsmouth. The skipper and the owners’ representative were over the moon with both the facility and the Testbank staff and were delighted that everything went so well.”

Their work on superyacht Senses caps a busy year since Testbank reopened the ship facility on the Portchester waterside after five years of decommissioning. Thirty five vessels have so far been hoisted, beginning with the Serco Denholm cargo ship Teesdale in June 2009, making the Testbank facility ideal for refitting and repairing superyachts, pilot boats, tugs, commercial ferries and naval vessels.

not to say i saw a sheik and a man those days here in neighborhood in which some correlation seemed to have with those yachts, it seemed for what I immaginary heard, really remained confused about. Dreams?

Can you actually see an anchor cable down? It could well be doing some DP setup trials which would explain why it was making all the small movements just off the dock you wrote about yesterday.

AFAIK, Yacht Owners are allowed to cruise to or to stay onboard their yachts while they are berthed in HH , I wasn't aware that there was any sort of ruling that it was compulsory to take your yacht to B and V if visiting HH.

Furthermore, We tend to stay well away from the subject of Owners here on YF unless there is ample public info out there and it is of general interest to the forum.

Oh my god, it was just a question, you don't need to be so aggressive. If it is not allowed to ask, then i don't participate anymore. How much arrogance this world have, unbelievible. If mods want, they can delete my all posts in this section. Anyway, she is already back.

[bigboatbill]

The owners of Eclipse and Senses are both very well known. I have seen a full length interview with Senses' owner who provided a full tour of the yacht on television. Very nice boat and the main tender launching system is pretty cool.

She finally left today at 12:20 PM, but i don't know if is a Sea Trial or for ever. Unfortunatly I didn't know to make pictures, even when I could. Soon at Cuxhaven.

According AIS, she is really in Sea Trials, but now berthed in Cuxhaven. It has a new picture of her brand new in the site, when passing in Elbe today. Take your own conclusions but Paint seems new.

Cannot see the yacht through that huge copyright sign? This is your photo MKM?

No, it was from some mod. I just said that the copyright of photo belongs to the AIS photoghraper, but the stupid guy could have it removed without this idiotic letters.
