Very exciting progress...

The Seipem 10000 has reached the Ionian, it's now halfway between Italy and Greece.

A huge ship of 60,000 tons...

... and just 4 days before this very, very capable vessel gets to CY... !!!

Meanwhile, Dimmo carries on putting his faith on a few Rusty Turkish Tugs and some Illegal Navvies with shovels.

That's some faith, Dumbo.

Those close to Larnaca port might be able to spot the unusual looking boat pictured below there.

It's the Lundstrom Tide, an offshore supply ship, which will be supplying the Saipem during its nine-month stay.

Oh... and you'll be able to see a second supply ship, the McKenny Tide, in the port at Larnaca.

Both supply ships waiting for the arrival of the Seipam on Tuesday.

(Meanwhile, Gulliblo is waiting for the "trnc"' bowser to arrive in Lourijina)

Where's the other half of that boat? :lol:

...beautiful. more than 8,000 sq ft of open deck space, tanks for mud, and on the Lundstrom, fire monitors which pump 4-12 thousand gallons of water, a minute.

Oh this is just too exciting...

The Saipem is approaching the borders of the CY EEZ, it is now just 94 NMs south-west of Paphos...!!!

Are you sharing our excitement, Drippo ...??? ... :angel:

It looks like our "friend" Greece is about to shove another cucumber up Cyprus' butt...
