ANGELN

Post by aukepalmhof » Thu May 02, 2013 3:42 am

Are it stamps or labels?, mostly not the best designs, and my advice do not spent to much money on this stamps from Burundi.

The two merchant ships depict on this ms are the ANGELN and IRINA TRADER.

ANGELN: Built as a container vessel under yard No 2011 by Zhejiang Yangfan, Zhoushan, China for Angeln GMBH & Co. Ag., Hamburg.
2004 Launched as the ANGELN.
Tonnage 6,704 grt, 3,557 net, 8,329 dwt, dim.132.57 x 19.20 x 9.20m., length bpp. 123.40, draught 7.22m.
Powered by one MAK 7 M 43 diesel engine, one shaft with pitch propellor, speed 17.5 knots.
One bow thruster
Container capacity 657 TEU’s, of which 116 reefer plugs, three hatches.
Fitted out on the port side with 2 cranes with a maximum lifting capacity of 50 tons.
March 2004 completed under Antigua and Barbuda flag and registry. Homeport Saint John’s. IMO No 9298600.

After completing managed by Brise Schiffahrts GMBH, Hamburg.
2005 Renamed by owners in APL ACAJUTLA. (Most probably renamed for a charter with the American shipping company APL.)
2009 Renamed by owners again in ANGELN, and chartered by Bernuth Lines, Miami, Fl.
On 21 February 2010, ANGELN departed Vieux Fort, Saint Lucia at about 21:00 local time (01:00 on 22 February UTC) bound for Barbados. She developed a list which rapidly increased. The order was given to abandon ship, which all 15 crew did successfully. Between 21:30 and 22:00, the ship capsized and sank in position 13 36N 60 59W. A salvage agreement was made with Titan Salvage under Lloyd's Open Form rules, but it was later decided that the ship was a constructive total loss. Titan were then awarded another contract to remove pollutants from the wreck. This work commenced on 4 March 2010 and completed on 21 April. The wreck has been designated a protected site by the The Saint Lucia Air and Sea Ports Authority, who have issued a Wreck Removal Order. 2013 So far I known she still is there in the same position.

The tropical paradise of St. Lucia is dealing with the aftermath of the 6704 GT container ship ANGELN (IMO: 9298600) which capsized and partially sank just off the island’s coast near Vieux-Fort. The video posted above provides a glimpse of the capsized vessel, and the cargo which has drifted ashore. No lives were lost in the incident, but the cause of the sinking may have been a sudden starboard list according to some news reports.
Owned by Germany’s Brise Bereederungs, the Antigua and Barbuda-flagged 657-teu Angeln (built 2004) was en route to Guyana when the incident occurred. The accident happened late Sunday night after the ship departed the port of Vieux-Fort.
The cause of the sinking is unknown and somewhat mysterious. According to a statement released by Brise, the weather conditions at the time of the accident were fair, the ship did not touch ground and a collision did not take place.
The following is the official statement from Brise:
The container ship mv “ANGELN”, managed by BRISE Bereederungs GmbH & Co. KG, Hamburg, and sailing for a United States charterer, sunk off the coast of the island of St. Lucia on 21 February 2010. The crew managed to escape in sufficient time and is doing well, considering the circumstances. The following information is currently known: the accident occurred between 9.30 p.m. and 10.00 p.m. local time while departing from the Port of Vieux- Fort. No leakage of fuel has been observed from the vessel. The weather conditions at the time of the accident were good. The ship did not touch ground and a collision did not take place. “To further clarify matters, we have involved vessel’s hull and machinery underwriters as well as the P&I Club into the latest investigation findings. The cooperation is constructive and running smoothly. It is now of high importance for us to take all steps to protect the environment. We have commissioned Titan Salvage to review the possibility of salvaging the
ship under Lloyd’s Open Form as well as secure the accident site for shipping activities in the port of Vieux Fort”, reports Kai-Erik Clemmesen, Managing Partner of BRISE Bereederungs GmbH & Co. KG.
More information about the ship: the m/v “ANGELN” was built in 2004 at the Zhoushan Shipyard, China. It has a volume capacity of 660 TEU, and since it went into service, has not experienced any noteworthy technical irregularities. The last dry-docking to confirm its class by Germanischer Lloyd took place in March 2009. At the time of the accident, the “mv “ANGELN” accommodated a crew of 15 and was sailing under the flag of Antigua & Barbuda for a United States charterer in the container service route Trinidad – St. Lucia – Barbados – Suriname – Guyana – Trinidad.
