Voge Mia is now sitting in Greenore with the mystery vessel just off shore. Beginning to think it's a glitch on Marine Traffic.

Interesting one off the coast of Wexford just now (heading north) - no name, instead numbered 216 636092603, Cargo Major Hazard A.

Showing Foynes to Busan, South Korea.

Any ideas?

According to the classification the number 2 at the start of the above number means that she is a "Wing in Ground Effect Vessel", a very low flying type of seaplane. Maybe something like this...https://www.nextbigfuture.com/2015/04/wing-in-ground-effect-plane-from-south.html

2 Thun tankers been anchored off bray the last day or two. No destination given in marine traffic just says waiting orders. Oil effect starting to kick in with lack of demand

And, as if on cue, Thun Globe leaves for Whitegate.

Rough night out west when you see the amount of Spanish in bantry bay.

I see a ship called Vegas Vela sitting off Bray for days but looks to have tens of containers stacked on it. Marine Traffic says destination Izmit in Turkey by 25th Dec. Would that mean just empty containers being moved somewhere? If not, why just sit there loaded?

I think there's no space in Dublin port so have to get out and about to let the others in. With so little regular passenger use of the commercial ferries I completely understand they're at a bit of a loss of what to do.

Charlie-Bravo · 26-12-2020 11:29pm

Two lovely Ro-Ro's off Greystones (very close to shore) today...Amandine and Palatine, registered in Malta, destination Dublin.

The Epsilon was cruising south of Dublin for a few days. What a waste of fuel.

They're either not in a rush or trying to avoid storms further in cox they're close to the south coast now and inshore compared to where they should be going

This is interesting, the standby vessel Lundy Sentinel appears to be steaming up and down off the east and south coast on "EU FISHERY PATROL"

Has the INS had to quietly outsource some work due to shortages?

Well spotted, it would seem your suggestion is correct

The Rescue 117 crew also spotted her and gained permission from her skipper for some winching practice yesterday.

Two taking shelter off North Dublin behind Irelans Eye & Lambay. Boat off Ireland's Eye heading into Dublin and Lambay heading to Drogheda

When I used to sail out of Kilrush it was like running a blockade if you were trying to go somewhere meaning sailing out on a week day when traffic was scarce and the Helo appeared. They spent a lot of training time latching on to boats for a bit of winching practice. Of course you couldn't say no and unfortunately I was never on the boat when it happened. Great fun to see but seriously useful to have had the experience in the event of needing it for real. I've been under the Sikorskys in SAR efforts and nothing quite prepares you for the sheer size of the bird and power of the downdraught!

SOP here in the South East is Rosslare CG radio will call up the vessel selected a couple of hours ahead of R117's arrival to ask permission for the exercise, of course whilst out on other flights they may call up themselves upon spotting a suitable vessel.

Have done a lot of work in Ireland on vessels and done a rake of coastguard exercises. You can't say no. Great people and great experience to have as you say in event of a real emergency.

What's out there.
