Good morning all...

Have pencilled in 08:30 for link-up, was in place for 8am then gave 30 mins for transfer hose pull-over and connect.

Succumb to rose' last night, so a little rough this morn....

Have a good-un

MO

Good night fellow ENQers

Can see for umpteenth time why should never second guess tankers... MO never learns, lol

Some day

MO

LOL CC... Hope no sparks... Not near CASP's Dante's inferno !!!

If remember "on the buses", lol, with Stan, can't remember them all, but certainly, "Blakey"... Butler, Jack... lol, did laugh, remember Olive ;-}

MO not claiming to be CASP expert... but if can prove two separate deep fields in 100's million barrels of reserves, would be worth considerably more than currently is valued.

MO observes excitement in north sea fields with 10's of millions of barrels, we should be at least a little excited, no ???

Will be what will be...

Good luck with mint in garden, is nice plant !!!

MO

FK... Very good holding at very good average... Very clever and observant person !!!

RichyP123.... You're gunna be minted, so obviously well clued-up !!!! lol

CC... Sure minted anyway !!!

Good luck fellow CASPers, Matrix sure can see 2 or 3 red buses coming over brow of hill...

LOL all CASPers...

Kaz is the place to be !!!

MO

Abort, abort !!!!

Will probably not come today, will be bigger offload tomorrow, next day... MAYBE ????

Tanker watching... Definitely not for amateurs !!!

MO

HK's almost there....

AK's weather vaning is all over the place, is due to wind and waves... (has done 360 !!! past track on AK to see)

Making HK earn it's fee...

Good luck ENQers, nearly there...

MO

LOL Chilts

16:56 it is....

Wind is light'ish but is moving around for a while... Should settle from NW direction, weather vaning AK to SE stern approach.

Anytime ~18:30 for a 12 day turnaround...

Cheers

MO

Is interesting to note is very specific ETA 16:56

Maybe will be accurate and punctual, like Japanese bullet trains ???

LOL

MO

Also quite a few dots at Seligi, could be rig moving/finished ???

Good morning E121

Think 3 hours at 13 knots, so will have to do handbrake turn and skid into place, lol...

2:30pm is MO's guess for actual link-up

Lol

MO

Hey Chilts, good day all

HK's making nice progress, is now in range...

https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/home/centerx:2.0/centery:59.8/zoom:9

Hoping for a faff/tease free link-up (could be first one fully run by Bumi Operations???)

Weather looking good, max 2m waves, Schedule indicates offload today, so hopefully no "wait until first light tomorrow", ;-}

Good luck all

MO

No probs E121... If a jobs worth doing...

OGA DB does get updated frequently, for example... do a search for wells spudded say from 18th August, should see a well spudded 3 days ago... and another slightly older...

Can't see #23 before H1 results, might be en-route...

Am truly looking forward to official update...

Have good-un

MO

LOL...

Has just updated to Rotterdam with 10.2m draught...

Which is a tad over 200k of 38API oil

EP #3 in a month or less if little tanker ???

MO

Siri is back in range of AIS

Still has draught of 7.7m with no destination, is currently due east of Hull

MO

Good evening E121

Hope enjoyed your highland adventure, sounded fun...

Have #21 as...

18.3 Offload #21 (Navion Oceania) - Started: 14/8 18:30, left 15/8 18:30 (Duration: 24 hours) - Draught change: 3.2m - Estimated Offload: 395k-590k barrels STS @ 11.8m British Cormorant 468k

So 18:30 on 27th is 12 days exactly...

Anyway, as know dangers of second guessing tankers, will probably go to...

Hope not as been looking forward to this one...

Cheers

MO

Come on baby...

Tugging-up, it appears ;-}

https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/home/centerx:9.171/centery:53.885/zoom:16

Will come to AK or someone else ???

MO

Hey Chilts

MO don't wanna get too excited... but if at AK for 27th AM would be just over 11.5 days since #21 left... Would be best one since #14's 11 days in April...

Would be a very good sign

Have a good-un

MO

Not sure if we'll have Heather Knutsen... Has just appeared in Orkney Shipping Schedule...

Aug 29 - 08:00 HEATHER KNUTSEN Anchorage Scapa Flow UK Offshore Installation, United Kingdom

https://www.orkneyharbours.com/port-authority/info/shipping

Can't be certain, but if for AK will need to arrive Monday 27th AM to fit with schedule...

Meaning would need to leave for AK tonight...

Is quiet today...

Good luck all

MO

AIS appears to be functioning normally following a week without any :-)

https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/home/centerx:1.301/centery:59.925/zoom:13

Hope is roarrrrring... and can get back to 11-13 day offloads, maybe get a 10 or so but probably not until DC4 is online.

Roll-on #22

Have a good-un

Would be a good time to get them flowing with US Dollar to Kazakhstani Tenge exchange rate recently hiting 2 year high.

... and Brent Poo currently ~$76, is not too shabby...

Good luck
