I'd think after taking out the Key Bridge, she'd not show her bow into any Eastern port again 😮.

This is really scary. So many species are at risk of extinction and politicians just want to lift regulation without realizing the consequences smh

10 knots is not slow by sailing standards. So, if it makes it safer and better for everyone why not ... And just like you said... It depends on everyone paying attention and we know that is a huge problem nowadays. People drive, text, eat, ... do anything you can imagine but "Pay attention"... these laws are not for us but 90 percent of the population that struggles with ADD or whatever spectrum disorder they suffer from and therefore we all have limits to work within... and besides... it lengthens the time we are recreating in our boats. is that really a bad thing? id be ok with a 4 knot speed if im being honest

hi andy

Wind farms are bad for the whales.

Knowing China, they probably hung tarps over the gaping hole, and sent her out to sea!

NOAA sucks! The "whole" federal government is corrupted!

Sound travels really good through water and whales have big brains so theyre probably smart enough to get out of the way!?

NOAA has been out of control for decades. They have to many employees so they can think up stupid rules. The USCG is stretched to thin as is.

It would be more logical to prosecute vessels seen navigating recklessly in the vicinity of whales.

Sounds like common sense prevailed. Thanks Andy.

The entire government needs a good house cleaning

Ok maga boomer. Typical moron.

A clear case of the administrators NOT knowing what they are talking about !!

MR.ANDY!!THANK YOU FOR THE INFO!!✌️✌️

What do you know about SS America ever sailing to potential reef sire?

Updates on the bridge, if any.

What means the little boat behind you?

Terrain, Terrain, Pull up, Pull up!

I wouldn’t let that rust bucket back into a port in America 😮

It wasn't much structural and steel and a welder makes quick work. The primary item has to be the cause of it in the first place which should have been fully identified quickly. Shouldn't have taken more than a few days.

The Chinese Don’t waste Time

Tnx 4 keeping us informed in any case Captain Andy. This is getting entering & interesting!!! Wonder where she'll turn up next!!!😮😮😮

Thanks for the update Captain Andy! That does seem fast. I wasn't expecting any news about this for at least 3 more months.

Is it just me? It looks like one of the "vertical" legs of the VB10000 is bent @0:40. On the right hand inner near vertical leg of the rear section of the VB10000 certainly isn't straight, while all of his mates are straight.

I guess a "Dali" is a ship? Why are you in my feed? I only care about sailboats. KZbin, typical fail.

Hey what company did the salvage job?

Great follow up Capn’ Andy! 😃

I miss seeing these guys come into St. Augustine for Ice and fuel.

Quicker than the bridge

They probably had a new bow all manufactured and ready when it arrived.

THANK YOU !!!!

Hopefully they added four reverse gears so they can get out of trouble as quickly as they get into it! Lol 😂

That ship should be given to the city of Baltimore as reparations, with all her revenue going to the city, and the families of those lost!

Hey Thanks Captain, and yes that seemed like a quick fix...

I was wrong. I can see the crankshaft. It sits lower in the ship than what I was expecting.

Keep it away from Baltimore.

It's most likely that the Dali was inspected by appropriate people after the collision and the shipyard started fabricating a new bow section, complete with equipment before the Dali left the USA. Then its just cut the old bow off, and install the new one, and run connecting electrical wiring and perhaps fire-main piping, and final painting. My ship (USS Savannah AOR-4) was in a collision with an aircraft carrier during unreal that totally crunched one of the Underway replenishment (Unrep) control stations. When we got back to Norfolk a month latter a brand new Unrep control station was sitting on the pier. They disconnected the electrical and control wires, cut the old station off, welded the new station on, and reconnected key electrical and control wiring in less than a week. Then a few days for painting. You would have never known that it had been replaced.

I know you have been saying that the engine will be in this section, but knowing that the prop shaft is still underneath the engine room floor here, I can't see how the engine would be in the seventh section. I'd say the engine would be around mid ships for the prop shaft to go straight onto the crankshaft.

Hopefully they fixed the engine stalling problems

Not sureshe still have a chance to go back to the US or not?

How’s the bridge looking?????

Wow quick fix. Hope it stays out of u s waters

hi andy

Thanks For Update

Wow this is quick!!! thanks Andy. Caroline from the uk.

There is no EPA, no OSHA, and no union contracts and an almost slave labor force so yeah, it didn't take long.

let us hope her career will proceed without drama. Godspeed Dali.

Thank you for the update

Hello Captain Andy.
