Sten Odin

[ruud]

Fuel tanker drifting off Shetland
The Coastguard tug, Anglian Monarch, is currently on route to a tanker ‘Sten Odin’ which has broken down 39 miles south west of Sumburgh Head. The tug is expected on scene at about midday.
The Norwegian registered vessel, which has sixteen crew on board, is drifting north east at a rate of two knots. It has a mixed cargo of 8494 tons of gas oil and Jet A1 (aviation fuel) on board.
Sandy Wylie, Shetland Coastguard Watch Manager says:
“The sea is rough at the moment with south westerly severe gale force winds, gusting to Storm force. It will be uncomfortable for the crew but they are not in any imminent danger. Once the tug has arrived on scene, we will be able to re-assess the situation and decide whether and where the vessel will be
towed to.”
Sten Odin in better days.

Hi Ruud

Good pic - where do you pick up all this info from, your a veritable library

Ahoy Nigel,

First of all there are several maritime news agencies, the the i-net newspapers from lots of countries, and the pictures most of them I do have in "stock"[approx.350.000] and if not I do have around some 500-1000 website entries from companies, all stocked in files. And there is of course "Google" where you can find also a lot of stuff.And you have to be quick, otherwise the "news=old"(*)) ,and no need to post it anymore.

Hi Ruud

You obviously know your way around the web better than me, but I'm learning slowly

Regard

Ahoy Nigel,

For 3 years ago, never touched keybord or computer,and never had any lessons how to work with it,learned all alone,and did lots of things the wrong way, but nowadays I'll go fast, but I also had my minutes, and thought by myself "over the side" with this damn thing.(*))

[nigelcollett]

Hope I get to that stage before the wooden box gets me

Hi Ruud.

I believe she is now alongside at Greenhead base in Lerwick awaiting spares from Norway. It appears she went as far as the "North Mooth" under her own power escorted, as I've been reminded below, by the Coastguard ETV Anglian Earl. She was then towed in by the Kebister and the Knab, both Lerwick harbour tugs. (Applause)


Best wishes.

Best wishes.

P.S. There are plenty of pubs in Lerwick, one very good one, the Douglas Arms, is not far away (within staggering distance, I know, I've staggered it many times) of Skippidock! (Pint)

It was the Anglain Earl that escorted the Sten Odin.

Sten Odin is now on passage to Dublin. Engine repairs made and all seems fine.
