M5 (ex Mirabella V) restyled by Pendennis Shipyard

M5 's stern was remodeled at the  pendennis shipyard in falmouth, uk and completed her sail trials successful..

M5 was originally built in 2004 as Mirabella V . Until she is still the largest sloop with over 75 meters (length of the hull) and an almost 90 meters long mast.

Designed and manufactured by Carbo-Link with OYS making the fittings, the 34 new carbon fiber stays, and titanium fittings with built-in dynamic fiber optics have decreased the weight of the rig by 18 tons. The sail trials not only established the M5 ‘s potential speed but tested the new system and balance of the yacht under sail for the first time. During several hours on the water with challenging sea conditions, the remodeled boat performed well, reaching 17.7 knots in 18-23 knots of wind.

The project, due to be completed over the next month, has seen a collaboration between Pendennis and the original designer Ron Holland , to achieve the Owners idea of extending the stern by 3m which has created a new sleeker profile providing an impressive aft deck area. During the refit, Pendennis has completed extensive engineering works and the interiors have been redesigned by UK company Redman Whiteley Dixon .

Geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) define a position on the Earth’s surface. Coordinates are angular units. The canonical form of latitude and longitude representation uses degrees (°), minutes (′), and seconds (″). GPS systems widely use coordinates in degrees and decimal minutes, or in decimal degrees.

Latitude varies from −90° to 90°. The latitude of the Equator is 0°; the latitude of the South Pole is −90°; the latitude of the North Pole is 90°. Positive latitude values correspond to the geographic locations north of the Equator (abbrev. N). Negative latitude values correspond to the geographic locations south of the Equator (abbrev. S).

Longitude is counted from the prime meridian ( IERS Reference Meridian for WGS 84) and varies from −180° to 180°. Positive longitude values correspond to the geographic locations east of the prime meridian (abbrev. E). Negative longitude values correspond to the geographic locations west of the prime meridian (abbrev. W).

UTM or Universal Transverse Mercator coordinate system divides the Earth’s surface into 60 longitudinal zones. The coordinates of a location within each zone are defined as a planar coordinate pair related to the intersection of the equator and the zone’s central meridian, and measured in meters.

Elevation above sea level is a measure of a geographic location’s height. We are using the global digital elevation model GTOPO30 .

The Dali was just starting a 27-day voyage.

The ship had spent two days in Baltimore’s port before setting off.

• Share full article

By Claire Moses and Jenny Gross

• Published March 26, 2024 Updated March 27, 2024

The Dali was less than 30 minutes into its planned 27-day journey when the ship ran into the Francis Scott Key Bridge on Tuesday.

The ship, which was sailing under the Singaporean flag, was on its way to Sri Lanka and was supposed to arrive there on April 22, according to VesselFinder, a ship tracking website.

The Dali, which is nearly 1,000 feet long, left the Baltimore port around 1 a.m. Eastern on Tuesday. The ship had two pilots onboard, according to a statement by its owners, Grace Ocean Investment. There were 22 crew members on board, the Maritime & Port Authority of Singapore said in a statement. There were no reports of any injuries, Grace Ocean said.

Before heading off on its voyage, the Dali had returned to the United States from Panama on March 19, harboring in New York. It then arrived on Saturday in Baltimore, where it spent two days in the port.

Maersk, the shipping giant, said in a statement on Tuesday that it had chartered the vessel, which was carrying Maersk cargo. No Maersk crew and personnel were onboard, the statement said, adding that the company was monitoring the investigations being carried out by the authorities and by Synergy Group, the company that was operating the vessel.

“We are horrified by what has happened in Baltimore, and our thoughts are with all of those affected,” the Maersk statement said.

The Dali was built in 2015 by the South Korea-based Hyundai Heavy Industries. The following year, the ship was involved in a minor incident when it hit a stone wall at the port of Antwerp . The Dali sustained damage at the time, but no one was injured.

Baltimore bridge collapse: Ship loses power then starts smoking - what CCTV and marine tracking tells us about what happened

Sky News's Data & Forensics unit looks at what happened in the minutes before the container ship hit the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore

By Adam Parker, OSINT editor

Tuesday 26 March 2024 13:52, UK

Please use Chrome browser for a more accessible video player

CCTV video and marine tracking data shows the Dali container ship lose power, adjust its course and start smoking before hitting the Baltimore bridge.

The Singapore-flagged container ship left the Port of Baltimore at around 12.45am local time. Its destination was Colombo in Sri Lanka.

In just over four minutes, the vessel changes course, loses power, starts smoking and hits the Baltimore bridge.

As the Dali approaches the Francis Scott Key Bridge at 1.24:32am local time it appears to lose power for around 60 seconds.

Around the same time, ship tracking data on MarineTraffic shows the Dali alter course as it approaches the bridge.

Its highest registered speed between the port and the bridge is 8.7 knots, it starts to slow down around 1km from the bridge. Its last registered speed is 7.6 knots between 100m and 200m from the bridge.

Just over a minute after appearing to lose power the ship starts producing black smoke.

The lights go out for a second time just over two minutes before it hits the bridge.

According to the timings on the CCTV, the ship hits the bridge at 1.28:44am. Four seconds later the bridge collapses.

The evidence appears to tally with a report from ABC News in the US which has cited unclassified intelligence that the container ship lost propulsion as it was leaving port and crew notified officials they had lost control.

'There should be no room for one-person errors'

A maritime safety expert says the "most likely" cause of the crash was a failure in the ship's machinery.

David McFarlane, director of Maritime Risk and Safety Consultants Ltd, has told Sky News: "The first thing that springs to my mind is: was there a sudden fault with the ship's engines or the steering gear? The other, of course, is: was there a navigational error?"

Mr McFarlane says a human error was less likely because of the number of people who would have been on duty.

He adds: "There should be no room for one-person errors because one of the other people should jump in and say 'hang on...'

"The most likely cause of this is a failure in machinery or steering gear, but we just won't know until the authorities have been on board. And even then, they're unlikely to say what's been going on for some considerable time."

More than 10 boats help rescue

According to MarineTraffic data, the first ship to arrive around 10 minutes later is a tug Eric Mcallister. It helped the 300-metre container ship leave the port.

It is joined by a second tug Bridget Mcallister and a search and rescue vessel around 25 minutes after the bridge is hit.

More than 10 boats are now involved in the rescue.

Flight tracking data from Flightradar24 shows a police helicopter arriving at 2.04am local time. A coastguard helicopter comes from Atlantic City and arrives at 4.42am.

Vessel involved in separate incident in 2016

The Singapore-flagged ship was previously involved in a minor incident when it hit a quay at the Port of Antwerp in Belgium in 2016, according to maritime accident site Shipwrecklog.

The vessel was reportedly damaged in the incident, but there were no injuries or pollution issues reported.

In the video, the ship's lights turn off minutes before the vessel strikes the bridge. As the ship nears the bridge, the lights then turn back on.

When BI reviewed ship-tracking data of the area at about 2:50 a.m. local time, a Singapore-flagged container ship, the Dali, was broadcasting its signal from beneath the bridge, surrounded by several Coast Guard-listed vessels.

The Dali's owner is listed as Grace Ocean, a Singapore-based firm, and its manager is listed as Synergy Marine Group, which is also headquartered in Singapore.

The ship is also listed as 300 meters long, or about 984 feet.

A Grace Ocean staff declined a request for comment from BI when reached by phone. Synergy Marine Group did not respond to calls from BI.
