Question Photos of Shipping Vessels

My E90 came over from Bremerhaven to Port Hueneme on the NYK Marina Ace back in September of '05. I think it would be cool to get a photo of the ship. I searched the Internet far an wide and could not locate a photo. I found some misc. info, just no pic. Any experts out there that might help?

You may find yourself on a terrorist risk list if you persevere in trying to find photos of such ships.

I posted back to you on the DYVI Puebla thread, but others might want this, too. I've found a couple of sites that show a lot of photos of car carriers.

Here's 1:
http://www.sa-transport.co.za/ships/...rriers/cc.html

and another:

http://gg77.de/carcarrier.htm

I believe the ship you are looking for is on both of the above.

Here's another site (where I found mine):

http://home.hccnet.nl/j.v.duivendijk/newcar.htm

And another site, which isn't in English, but "Suche" appears to be "Search" - Type your boat name in that box, and then "Schiffsfotos" on the page that appears is where the photos are.

Since when did BMW carrying ships become terrorist targets?

Can anyone find a picture of the INTEGRITY. I've spend a good amount of time looking and couldn't seem to find anything. The above links didn't have the Integrity either.

Don't know if photos of the Freedom have been posted before, but here they are:


http://www.corvusgroup.com/ium/image...t/arc/arc1.jpg

http://www.corvusgroup.com/ium/image...t/arc/arc2.jpg

http://www.corvusgroup.com/ium/image...t/arc/arc3.jpg

The Freedom seems to be a sub-contracted ship for WW. The registered owner is Interocean Amercian Shipping Corporation.

From sail track, Freedom seems to be nearing NYC (probably docked since the last report was Apr 29 at 1200.

The Integrity is operated by Interocean American Shipping Corp. Unfortunately, I could not find any photos of the ship on their site.

Hey cool here...

I just found this forum when I checked my homepage-log...

It is really interesting to me: I live in Bremerhaven (one of the biggest vehicles port in Europe) and until 1998 during my studies I worked in the port: Loading BMW's and Mercedes-Benz...

If you look for pics of carcarriers: www.carcarrier.de

(OK, sorry... It is a little advertisement... it is the page of my wife, she worked there too as a student... )

It was a hard job under heavy control by BMW


(BMW's onboard the HÖEGH BERLIN in august 2005)

Kind regards
Helge
