The International Transportation of Any Product Requires Many Companies & Innumerable Hands. The "Bad Thing" Can Happen At Any Stage -- Including Infrastructure Failure. This Picture Is A Symbol of The Little Things Which Can Make The Big Bite To Your Cargo. This Guy's Brother Loaded Your Perishable Cargo Today. What Required Precautions "Were Not His Job?" Here Is Just Another Example of The Many Reasons Why Shippers Need High Quality Marine Cargo Insurance.

The Dreaded Skull & Crossbones -- Striking Fear Into The Hearts of Mariners For Hundreds of Years
Modern, Mortorized, Machinegun Marauders! Who Can Be Safe From Their Bold Attack? The Cargo Letter - April 22 2009In a move that may well earn them a spot in the "World's Most Stupid Pirates" Somali pirates tracked what they took as an innocent merchant frieghter --- and massed for the attack with three "attack craft" -- large fiberglass boats.
The Shame of "Disguised" French Navy Light Surveillance Frigate Nivose -- Here Making Herself Look Like A Freighter -- Especially The Large Bow Gun. Dah! Editor Note: It is difficult to comprehend how even the the most challenged of us could possibly have made this mistake in the broad daylight of 8:30 am. So what does this tell us about the "enemy" we are fighting in these waters. These are stupid thugs. No more ransom payments to these guys, please. These guys get a Darwin Award for sure.McD

A 400-Ton Crane Worked To Temove The Truck & Allow The Ferry To Dock. This Was A Turners Ltd of Fordham, UK Vehicle, Carrying Non-Ferrous Sulphate Powder M/V HSS Stena Voyager Only Went Back Into Service Jan. 26, After A US$1.4M Refit. The Cargo Letter - Jan. 28 2009Ferry M/V Stena Voyager, Stranraer for Belfast with 156 passengers and 33 crew, suffered incident where a tanker-trailer broke free and was discovered hanging off the stern of the vessel on Jan. 28. The vessel was quickly stabilized without report of injury, but one of the vessel's stern doors was seriously damaged. A mobile crane was to be used to remove the stricken vehicle, after which passengers would be able to safely drive their cars off the vessel. The damaged vessel is to be brought to Belfast for repairs, while a separate ferry will be arranged to take passengers on their scheduled journey. The tanker was laden with non-hazardous ferrous sulphate powder and was maintained fully intact. From our Sr. Correspondent Tim Schwabedissen and our Correspondent A . L . Griffiths (Thurs.

![]() The Cargo Letter - Jan. 18 200943,537-gt cruise ship M/V Balmoral, Fred Olsen Cruise Lines, was struck by 50-ft waves in force 8-9 gales in the Bay of Biscay on Jan. 18. Many passengers were injured, including two who suffered broken bones and were airlifted from the vessel to a hospital in Spain. The weather conditions were worse than forecast, and the ship was actually hit by much larger motions of the sea than had been anticipated before it left Dover. The cruise itinerary was altered as a result of the inclement conditions. The ship skipped scheduled calls at Tangier, Lisbon and La Rochelle. A call at Cherbourg and an overnight stay in Antwerp were added; the ship also spent one extra night in La Coruna and another in Bilbao. From our Sr. Correspondent Tim Schwabedissen (Thurs. Jan. 29 2009).
Comment From Orr ReaderRegarding your Singles Only item "Bull Riding In The Med" -- I should inform you about the fact that the Bay of Biscay (Gulf of Biscay as we call it), where this cruiseship was hitting those freak waves, is not in the Mediterranean but in the Atlantic Ocean. ;-) Single Feature Index: Fred Olsen Cruise LinesM/V BalmoralPresemt Location of M/V Balmoral Contributors For This Feature: Tim Schwabedissen |

Our Elected Leaders Serving The Transportation Public -- Pirates Are Not Always On The High Seas The Cargo Letter - Jan. 2009For the information of those of you living in caves -- virtually anywhere in the world -- the State of Illinois, USA has become unique. Indeed it's two most recent governors are unique.Governor George H. Ryan -- January 11, 1999 to January 13, 2003 -- Currently In PrisonGeorge Homer Ryan (born February 24, 1934 in Maquoketa, Iowa) was the Republican Governor of the U.S. state of Illinois from 1999 until 2003. Although Ryan became nationally known when he "raised the national debate on capital punishment" by issuing a moratorium on executions in 2000, his 35-year political career was tarnished by scandal. Investigations into widespread corruption during his administration led to his retirement from politics in 2003 and federal corruption convictions in 2006. Ryan entered federal prison on November 7, 2007, to begin serving a sentence of six years and six months. As of December 10, 2008, he is housed at the satellite prison camp adjacent to the Federal Correctional Institution in Terre Haute, Indiana.
