Best guess is going to exchange some crew, or to increase the compliment. Italy is not open to some countries and requires quarantine for others. I believe Croatia is open, with non-Schengen crew having to board the ship directly and sail within 12 hours. If she is a quick turnaround, then I would assume crew. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In general, we can only guess the answer. One reason could be to pick up fuel (bunkers is the term used by our resident merchant marines). Another reason could be to pick up/drop off crew. Or maybe they had to leave Trieste. We will never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are supposed to be on the Jupiter for the Homelands cruise but I think that will be cancelled. We are in Scotland and would not normally entertain an English cruise but just getting on a cruise ship after the year we’ve all had will be so exciting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We decided to pass on these early cruises but we wish you a lovely cruise on this beautiful new ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heidi13 Posted April 3, 2021 #507 Share Posted April 3, 2021 A few of the ships has set sail since yesterday Star - returned to Mukran, now docked Sky - vacated the berth in Mukran for the Star and is now anchored off the port Sun - departed Shekou, bound for Shenzhen, with ETA of 7th April. Since both ports are next to each other, this looks like a 4-day shake down in South China Sea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do ships have registration numbers like airplanes so that you’ll still be able to find her afterwards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOLAS requires each ship to have an IMO number assigned, which remains with the ship regardless of Flag, ship's name, etc. It can also have an Official Number (ON) assigned by the Flag State at time of registration. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Viking Sea is a 2016 build, she is due for her 1st Special Survey. While they had a number of drydocks in Trieste, I didn't see her use one of them. Could be heading to the S/Y at Rijeka to complete her 1st Special Survey. Couldn't see the point of Orion heading to a S/Y, other than for ship repair/modifications, but Viking Sea could be heading to one of the 2 floating drydocks. Will watch Marine traffic for the next few days. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ancona has Fincantieri & Palumbo Group yards, so could still be heading for a drydocking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, good to see that the cameras are coming back online, as when I checked them last year, if online they only showed the day they docked.
