Ship stuck on Bramble Bank.

Did it get there itself? or did it have to be towed from Southampton?

It arrived under its own power, around the 10th I think.

Walking over the Itchen Bridge in Southampton you can see this compound full of JLR product and some cranes. It all arrived around the time they emptied the Hoegh Osaka and is still all there now.

Note the red crane near the centre of the picture was quite mangled.

You loaded up the right picture? All I see is a warehouse roof!

Is the boat sailing again now or has it gone for a refit somewhere?

Yes, its the correct picture, I appreciate I'm not David Bailey, but you can see the little white blobs of JLR product.

Ship is fixed and due in Southampton again soon.

I can see the vehicles worth getting a telephoto offer there to spot the damage

That's a cool website!

So the Hoegh Osaka is currently somewhere off Portugal, heading for the Suez Canal.

I have been using that site and this http://southamptonvts.co.uk/Live_Information/Shipp... to track where ships are, and noticed the Osaka was on the list as an arrival last week sometime.

Yeah marinetraffic is quite good, they don't move as quick as the planes on flightradar though

Seems like Autotrader have a few export only vehicles all from the JLR group which are new. tin foil hat time?

Well, that was really quite nothing...

[hidetheelephants]

What a pointless report, they may as well have left it as 'report pending'.

Wow

Just disappeared down the Internet wormhole for two hours reading the Cheeki Rafiki report (one of the poor chaps comes from the same place as me). Horrible reading, there's loads of reported comms and you get a feel for the panic that must have set in when they realised it was a major problem.

Seems like there were some major inadequacies in their planning, liferaft in a valise in a cockpit locker, epirb not free floating, etc. Don't get me wrong, my epirb is on a bracket next to the chart table, and my liferaft is in a valise in the cockpit locker, but I'm not crossing the Altantic.

The other thing that comes across is the boat was potentially knackered. Numerous reported groundings, repairs to the keel area, and so on.

Hindsight is so easy to say they never should have been there, just a shame it was such a hard earned lesson.

My hovercraft is full of eels. Are you Red Squirrel?

Is that a mating call, or a really crappy secret agent codephrase?

I could tell you, but I'd have to tickle you to death...
