WOW! cool photos.
It's enormous.
Looks like it brought out the whole town...even has matching blue & white tugs!
That waterway must be seriously dredged.
I like the last photo, looks like there is a wind farm on the foredeck. How's that for alternative propultion!?

engines are for sure wärtsila - proof:

the dudes with blue jackets, they're from wärtsila

Nice work Brunick - Great shots

In one of your hi res stern shots, looks like a retractable passerelle from the teaked area at the stern to the upper deck. Can you confirm?

Behold - the triumpant revival of the Big Smokestack !

jep i can confirm that, but i still don't know why. also why there's that platform - there has to be something important under that, maybe just another dinner platform

Helipad?

Hi,

The rails around the sides and aft look pretty substantial and fixed to make it a pad plus the Flag Staff is just in the way of the Tail Rotor of any decent sized machine.

as if they don't have any tenders aboard

2 on the foredeck 2 on the upper deck
at least 2/4 in the pockets on the sides any maybe several behind the transom door

i didn't realize that the crane on the aft deck

maybe they need it for bringing out several toys, stored underneath?
that transom door is about 4m(13foot) in height! so there's alot of space behind.

Edit: i just added 2 unseen pictures of al mirqab, there you can see the bathplatform with some extras

1.pic:http://www.brunick.de/wewelsfleth/bilder/DSC_9499.JPG

ladder down to the water + springboard

2.pic:http://www.brunick.de/wewelsfleth/bilder/DSC_9500.JPG

some type of gangway

Edit2:

just saw a mecanical mode to lower the flagg staff!!
there's a big crane which problably is for bringing down tenders to water

Hi Jannik

Jannick,

That looks SO Claus Kusch, any info?

Dave

i'm sorry dave, i don't really know what you mean, if you mean if it was build by kusch, jep, builder is kusch yacht

Al Mirqab is currently doing 20.5 knots travelling from westcoast of sweden to eckernförde, germany - estimate arrival time is 7pm today

Al Mirqab

Yesterday we are waiting for Al Mirqab in Eckernförde, because the German TV Channel NDR brings a short notice about the ship on Thuesday. But we are waiting in vain. Are you sure Al Mirqab arrives today in Eckernförde? I am living in Eckernförde and I can make some photos.

as i'm still looking at the ais data i'm not longer sure...

this is what my ais give me:
Ziel: SEA TRIAL ECKERNFOER
Voraussichtiche Ankunftszeit: 09.06.2008 19:00:00

but even with 20 knot they'd arrive at 9pm so i guess they're coming in tomorrow -

king: ich war übrigends mit dem ndr da, bin auch 2 mal zu sehen gewesen
evtl komm ich dann auch nach eckernförde um sie wieder zu knipsen

brunick: Eckernförde ist immer einen Ausflug wert. Bin in jedemfall am 18:00 Uhr am Hafen. Trage ein weißes Polohemd mit der Aufschrift AVALON YACHTS auf dem Rücken.
