What's up with the Comoros registry on the tug?
MISPILLION passing through the Miraflores Locks of the Panama Canal on Feb. 21, 2012 en route to Brownsville TX for dismantling:
One more...
Nice as always -- thanks!
I wonder when GLACIER and the four breakbulkers will be pulled out for cleaning.
Edit: For those interested, here are the sale documents for
GLACIER for $146,726.00.
AIDE for $396,726.00.
AMBASSADOR for $356,726.00.

Thanks as always. You sent these over to the MISPILLION guys? I imagine they were watching too.
Looks as if AIDE will be the next one to leave, on March 6th: DOT contract award. Interesting that the drydocking cost is nearly the same as the cost ESCO Marine paid to buy the whole vessel!
I did email two contacts on the MISPILLION association website a link to this forum and page. They can always copy the pictures over to their site. I hope they can use them.
Next is PIDGEON but I am sure she will be much smaller, so I may not do as extensive of a photo grab with her.
Didn't Pigeon leave a day or two before Mispillion? At least Kirsten Grace was further down the coast (but she was going slower in the screenshots) looking back on post 523 and 524.
Oh and Rachel and Crescent City arrived in Brownsville a couple hours ago.
There is a website of PIGEON last voyage photos. I imagine whomever made that site would appreciate a nice set of canal photos.
Edit: GLACIER's turn will come on 04/17/2012: DOT contract award.
AMBASSADOR's turn will be 04/25/2012: DOT contract award

Ahh, thanks! It appears Kirsten Grace is just slower and got lapped by Elsbeth II.
Then I will try and hook them up.Originally Posted by Admiral Nelson
Kirsten Grace was actually due on the 20th at the Panama Canal but has been a no show. Maybe tomorrow? Not sure why Pidgeon is a slower tow than Mispillion but they did get the old girl down there rather quickly. Must be in a hurry to fill a slot in Brownsville?
The schedule for the last two breakbulkers is up. That gives us these dates for the next round of ships leaving Suisun Bay.
AIDE 03/06/2012
ADVENTURER 03/22/2012
AGENT 04/11/2012
GLACIER 04/17/2012
AMBASSADOR 04/25/2012
Amazes me that these were not some of the first to be pulled after the Patrick and Pope. When you go on board, and see the condition, these were a mess while the Mispillion was very clean.
