I also see the tugs attached so they could have fucked up or a rope snapped? Either way I'd say the shipping line would be looking to the insurance company to help out.Quote:

We were all showered and spivved up leaning over the handrail approaching the wharf, about 100 meters out we were looking at one another thinking shit he's coming in a little fast, time go's by and we weren't slowing until crunch, metal against concrete, some bloody big rubber fenders get ripped of the edge of the wharf and fall into the drink. Ripped a few life boat supports and stuffed the hand rail we were leaning on.
Anyway to cut the story short the skipper paid for drinks and the whorehouse that night, next day the Flippo AB's were out scrapping paint and applying gallons of new paint. A shore based engineering company were contracted for a few days to sort out the life boats and hand rails before we could sail. Nice little extended stopover.
It is a you-tube-a-thon

That makes it clear. They're clearing the road of stones!
Just found out the wool truck had a blow out so speed wasn't a factor.Quote:
