When I got home Matt reminded me that he was out tonight at the Philharmonic for the Everton awards celebration evening, branded as 'The Dixies'.
Parking is always a bit hit and miss down there, and the club have a blue carpet event outside, meaning Hope Street is closed to traffic. I did the cab duty.
On my way home I passed the new Royal Hospital building which I think looks like it's come on a bit since I saw it last. I imagine that means that people must be working on it again after Carillion went pop. I hope they're getting paid!
Ocean Rigs newbuilding Ocean Rig Corcovado at Af Decom Vats.
Since North Atlantic Drillings jack-up rig West Elara had not left Westcon, Westcon had to rent the quay at Af Decom to be able to do this job.

I just started a new project up - and in that project, registration of the project's sorroundings is needed.
I was out shooting the sorroundings - some of those places were very cool - this diptych is from one of those buildings :-)
New-build Collett 68XX 4-6-0 No 6880 'BETTON GRANGE' is seen at Leicester North, leaving with the 1245 train for Loughborough Central, on January 25th 2025.
The Grange Class was extinct until 2024, when 6880 was completed. The GWR built 80 of them, numbered 6800 - 6879. The final examples were withdrawn at the end of 1965, and scrapped in 1966.
6880s chimney was removed from 6868 when that loco was being scrapped. She was completed at Tyseley, and first steamed in 2024.
I hope you enjoy looking through my Flickr images. Please consider helping me pay for my Flickr subscription, and to replace my scanner with something that'll produce better images from the past.
I'd like to rescan all of my older uploads in the fullness of time.
Thank you.
LYNGBY, Denmark – Kleven has delivered the Maersk Maker, the final vessel of Maersk Supply Service’s Starfish AHTS newbuild series.
The Maersk Maker is a DP-2 deepwater anchor handling tug supply vessel (AHTS) of SALT design. Powered by five medium speed engines with total output of more than 23,000 horsepower, a fuel efficient and flexible hybrid propulsion system and fixed pitch on all side thrusters, the vessel is said to provide good fuel economy, low emissions, and good station keeping capabilities (ERN 4 x 99).
Also designed for high safe deck operations, the vessel is equipped with a multi deck handler system, anchor recovery frame, gypsy handling system and other aids.
The vessel’s arrival completes the company’s fleet renewal program, with 10 newbuild vessels delivered and 23 vessels divested over the last three years.
Since March 2017, six M-class AHTS vessels of the Starfish series and four I-class subsea support vessels of the Stingray series have joined the Maersk Supply Service fleet. Both vessel series, the company says, have been designed to optimize reliability, energy efficiency, comfort, and safety.
The average age of Maersk Supply Service’s current 44-vessel fleet has been reduced to less than 10 years. The fleet consists of 30 AHTS vessels, 12 subsea support vessels, and two platform supply vessels.

An official delivery/acceptance ceremony for the Maersk Maker, sixth in a series of seven Anchor Handling Tug Supply vessels, was held at Kleven Shipyard 14 February 2019. The Starfish series vessels are being built for Maersk Supply Service A/S. The M-series vessel featuring several innovations was designed for operation on deep sea depths. Maersk Maker had a naming ceremony at Kleven yard, with Rikke Eskjær as godmother. The vessel will leave Kleven in a few days, heading to Aberdeen and the spot market in the North Sea.
Mr Olav Nakken, CEO of Kleven Verft AS commented “The project has been very important for Kleven as well as for all subcontractors who have been involved. Maersk is a quality and safety conscious customer whom we have learned a lot from, especially with focus on HSE and initiation of machinery system. As the Starfish fleet is complete, we take a goodbye with Maersk for now, and of course we wish them welcome back!”
Chief Executive Officer Steen S Karstensen, Maersk Supply Service, said that “As some of the newest vessels operating in the offshore support vessel industry, the M-class series have proven their highly advanced capabilities from the moment of delivery. These vessels are building impressive track records within a range of services and we’ve received positive feedback from our customers around the world.”
Carmet Tug Company's newbuild, Multirole Easyworker 2080 "CT Barnston", does some anchor handling and chain work at Woodside Ferry Terminal as the tide ebbs.
Local lads doing amazing work yet again!
The weather went from raining to cloudy to sunny and back to raining so on and so forth. Typical lol
You can see how much the tide drops during the series of photos. In such a short amount of time, the time drops dramatically and at such a speed as it usually does on high springs.
