According to Bluescope Steel's in house publication "Kembla Lines", "In March 2011 the vessel will sail to Singapore where she will undergo significant work during a 60 day dry docking that will extend her life to 2016 & beyond." The article also says, "The vessel, built in 1973, continues to maintain a very good condition, impressing industry professionals. This is a testament to the high quality of the construction and materials used at the time." The article also celebrates IRON MONARCH delivering her twenty millionth tonnes of steel slab from Port Kembla to Westernport. This will make IRON MONARCH which was built in 1973, 46+ years old upon her retirement! loganevh on "Does anyone know history of the "Joy"" http://www.shippingdatabase.com/forum/topic/does-anyone-know-history-of-the-joy#post-298 Sun, 30 May 2010 14:57:05 +0000 loganevh 298@http://www.shippingdatabase.com/forum/ Found her,,,she was the Cydonia (original name) built in Great Britain '55. loganevh on "Does anyone know history of the "Joy"" http://www.shippingdatabase.com/forum/topic/does-anyone-know-history-of-the-joy#post-297 Thu, 27 May 2010 00:42:26 +0000 loganevh 297@http://www.shippingdatabase.com/forum/ I had a chance to go with my cousin (who worked for the USDA in New Orleans, La.) to inspect her stores, etc. I thought she was the coolest ship.

I decided to re-size the images to 50% and have just now put uploaded two images without any problems. Bruilliant trader and Maritime Anita. I hope they are good enough for your site. They seem OK to me. I have quite a few others of ships that you have no photos of so far. Problem before was, yes it took a while, and then in the end it always came up, THERE WAS AN ERROR UPLOADING PLEASE TRY AGAIN. Do you need notifying about photos uploaded or does the server let you know anyway. Griz (Ian) The Griz is a nick name I've had for years, but now I have retired to a new area no ones knows me by that name. I am quite happy to be known as Griz.

I have a fair size database of my own and concentrate on ships, their builders, dates, renamings and other statistical data, however I don't hold crew lists etc. What 2 - I am currently trying to identify as many Japanese merchant ships as possible - from 1875 to the present day. I can get most detail from Lloyds Registers and the Miramar ship index (and now this site) but images are harder to come by all the way over here in UK. As you can appreciate, an image is all important to ensure that the ship you are adding to your database is actually correct and not another with the same name. If any member wants help with a vessels identity, or more likely History, I will try to help if you can provide some basic information: Name, Year built, builder, company etc. Obviously not all the info may be available but every little helps; especially if there is a photo. If you send me a message then I will try to reply with a potted history, including name changes, signal codes, official numbers etc., if I have them.

The minimum donation is set at $10 Australian (which given the current exchange rate is probably not much more than the cost of a cup of coffee in some countries). Hopefully those that can afford to contribute more than the minimum will continue to do so. Regards, The Shipping Database Team
