Cruise Ships into Lay-up

[SeaDog-46]

It has been reported that after Amsterdam lands its crew in Jakarta the ship will move back to Malaysia for Long term Lay-up.

Long term lay-up?

wonder how the Captain and officers will get home. 

[SeaDog-46]

Depends on many things.  Where the lay-up area is & access to a port.  How many ships & if it is an anchor layup, dock or buoy mooring.

That will be a very sad day .😢😢😢

Brunei Bay is in East Malaysia / Brunei  - see   www.marinelayup.com

There is a layup service operated from Labuan Island with an airport with service to KL.

This could be one place in Malaysia.

The pics are NOT Brunei Bay & most likely Europe.

Is this temporary pending when Amsterdam starts cruising again?

Amsterdam crew put a nice video out about how they will be back.

I believe they still have a lot of luggage on board belonging to the world cruisers. It might be a long time before they are reunited with it.

What a great video . After all the doom and gloom it is refreshing to see such a positive outlook. Brought a smile to my face and gives me faith in the future of cruising .

First cruise ship waiting to go to layup has arrived at Labuan. 

Azamara Journey is waiting to be moved to layup anchorage in Brunei Bay along with quite a few other vessels.

I think most of those ships , if that is Brunei , would be oil tankers . 

[SeaDog-46]

David - photo is Brunei Bay but not current.

Most vessels waiting with Azamara Journey are Bulk Carriers with a couple of Gas & Oil tankers plus a rig, a vehicle carrier & a container ship.

There has not been a time when a number of cruise ships have gone into cold layup. So no photos available.

It's hard to gnow for sure what vessels are in cold layup at Brunei Bay as there AIS would be off.
