Almaria Star breaching

Postby David Fox » Sun Oct 05, 2025 1:56 pm

Was anybody on board the Almaria Star when in Antwerp whilst under pilotage a P&O ship also under pilotage , put her bulbous bow through No3 hatch port side. Both ships I assume where light ship. Spring 1984.
Anybody got any pictures and can give an account from their perspective regardless of their position on the ship.

Various name on Gangway, CEng John Lineham, GJ Reeve as Master

I understand Philip Catchpole the 3rd was on watch during that Stand By with Dave Marshall the 2/E. Philips wife accompanied him on that voyage and had to don her lifejacket and proceed to her lifeboat. THIS IS NOT A TEST or BOT SPORTS DAY. WE ARE SERIOUS!!!
