Odd goings on at Shoreham recently, as I have noticed that the Cemex owned Sand Harrier has been delivering to the Dudman site. This is usually done by the Dudman owned Thames (ex Pelicano, ex Arco Thames). A quick search shows Thames heading off to Kaliningrad, Russia at the end of July.

Oh dear, Dudman have gone into administration and the ships of the independent shipping company, of which Thames is one, have been tied up for the last couple of weeks.
Well it turns out that Thames, along with the rest of the ship's of the Independent Shipping Company, has actually been arrested by the Admiralty Marshall and is likely to be stuck in port for some time.
Sadly she's going to be cut up. Although a lot of people know where she gone I've been asked not to say at the moment. Took her there on Friday/Saturday.
Yes a good ship and I had a good five years on her
Yes, she had a good innings, I enjoyed every minute. Shame really she still had a few years in her but the recession and being due for a special in a few months meant it was the end.
Yes, saved from the torch, a new start for the old girl. Been reflagged in Cape Verde and going to run between CV and West Africa somewhere, not sure where she's going exactly, the crew haven't updated the AIS, she off of Portugal now, nearly 6 years exactly since I sailed her the other way to the UK.
