1235879 2011-10-07 08:07:00 Now that that ship has beached at Mount, we need to re convene the PC World expert group that we had for the Pike River Mine.

Digby I am sure that we can come up with some great ideas to resolve the situation with the the stranded ship at the Mount from the comfort of our desks. Best not let anybody know that we are in control. We do not want to take the blame if things do go really wrong. :D

1235880 2011-10-07 09:17:00 Well I would have got that bunker ship that is in Auckland to leave two days ago not today.

And I would have arranged for all the oil booms etc that were in NZ (if there are any) to be on their way two days ago.

And I would have found out if there are any helicopters in NZ that can lift a full heavy container.

And if not I would have been on the phone to President Putin, they have some big mothas.

It won't remain fine weather for ever.

And I would have arranged for Kim Vinell to stay at my place.

1235881 2011-10-07 11:28:00 Mil 26 could carry the containers, seen a 26 with a 113 APC underneath it in the tropics ( thin air). I do like their ferry tanks just drive a fuel tanker inside. prefect (6291)
1235882 2011-10-07 19:15:00 OK, so we need a couple of Mil 26's.

Its as I thought we don't have any oil booms in NZ.
They have requested some from Australia !

1235883 2011-10-07 19:44:00 those russian helicopters could easily remove 1 container at a time..... Gobe1 (6290)

Just had a quick read on the Mil MI-26 (en.wikipedia.org). Looks like they could easily do the job of unloading the cargo. It would take a day or two for them to arrive though.

1235885 2011-10-07 21:20:00 What the need is to import thousands of tonnes of dirt, dump it all over the boat and then turn it into a disneyland. rob_on_guitar (4196)
1235886 2011-10-07 21:28:00 You need one of these (www.oobject.com) and you put them onto barges.
