Seen in the West India Dock in London on the 4th July 1998, GLOBAL MARINER (79/12778) was operating as an ambassador for the International Transport Federation. I believe she was lost a short while after.

She looks like one but I don't know. Previous to GLOBAL MARINER, she was the Hong Kong registered LADY REBECCA of South Asia Shipping Ltd.

Yes, the Global Mariner was the 1979 built Rudbank (later Lady Rebecca) before taking on her role as ambassador for workers rights for ITF. She had 12 cadets on board when struck by the Atlantic Crusader and sank in the Orinoco River in August 2000

A bit more on this ship. Taken from SHIPPING -Today & Yesterdasy Oct 2000.
"ITF ship sinks
The cargo ship which was being used by the International Transport Workers' Federation for a world tour to highlight safety at sea was sunk in a collision at the port of Matanzas on the Orinoco River, Venezuela, on Aug.2.
During her 20-month tour as part of the ITF's campaign for seafarer's rights and against flags of convenience, the Global Mariner, 12,778gt, visited 86 ports in 51 countries and had almost 750,000 visitors to the onboard exhibition. The tour ended in February this year (2000).
In April, the Global Mariner, owned by ITF Expo Ltd., was placed on bareboat charter with Clyde Marine. The crew managers were Guernsey Shipmanagement, and ASP Seascot, of Glasgow, were the commercial managers.
On Aug 2 the Global Mariner, carrying 17,000 tons of steel coils and products,left her berth at Matanzas. On board were 22 British Officers and predominantly british crew with some Polish ratings, and nine British Cadets. There were three local pilots.
Initial reports indicated that the Global Mariner turned in the channel, under the con of the harbour pilot and with one tug attached, ehen she was in collision with the Cyprus-flag cargo ship Atlantic crusader, 7,366gt.
The Global Mariner was struck on the port side by way of no.2 hold and then no.3 hold flooded and the ship sank. All those on board were taken off by a pilot boat.
The Global mariner was completed by Sunderland Shipbuilders Ltd., Sunderland, in 1979 as the Ruddbank, of Andrew Weir & Co., London. She was baught by Lambert and Holt Line in 1983 and was renamed Romney, becoming the Laird in 1986 and the Napier Star in 1989.
In 1991 the ship was sold by the Vesty group to Hong Kong owners and renamed Tamapatcharee, and in 1995 she became the Lady Rebecca, by new Hong Kong owners.
The ship was bought by ITF in 1998 and renamed Global Mariner."

Thats what I like, a concise history. I can remember seeing a picture of her conversion to become GLOBAL MARINER with both TAMAPATCHAREE & LADY REBECCA displayed on her stern, might have been on the ITF website at the time.

Thats what I like, a concise history.
Here's another one - a report - End of a Global Odyssey (http://www.airds.demon.co.uk/mariner.html) on her sinking, on a webpage that I made up at the time for practise. And er-rrr, the text 'borrowed' from the NUMAST 'Telegraph' and/or Lloyds' List.
(ps Just nnoticed the link to the I.T.F. doesn't resolve - will investigate. Later all ok, 18:02)

She was a "Bank Boat" albeit a bit more sophisticted than earlier models! I was Chief Mate on her in 1981 and we did the USA-South Africa service; two round trips from Baltimore then leave.
The writing was on the wall however, the amount of cargo was pitiful in terms of generating income, so inevitably the service ended. On our second run we passed a sister ship the Tenchbank (all the class named after fresh water fish - a nod in the direction of the owner's green credentials) which was down to her marks and via VHF we established that she was full and down only because of bulk cargo of some mineral or other from Richards Bay; not a good way of operating a liner service.
Bank Line had the rights to that service dating from the 1930s and had indeed operated it then but trade dried up until they tried again in the 1980s.

The "Global Mariner" was a former Bank Line ship ("Testbank"??) which became the "Tamahine", which was rumoured to be operated by the son of the founder of JCB, out of Hong Kong. I was told that he owned 4 ex-Bank Line ships. I did a Port State Control inspection on "Tamahine" at Liverpool, N.S., where she was loading rolls of newsprint, circa 1994. I subsequently Port State-ed her as "Global Mariner" in Halifax. She was a beautiful ship, maintained to the highest standards of seamanship, and her sinking in a collision in South America was a sad end to a worthy I.T.F. project which aimed to train young seafarers.

Global Mariner was formerly "Ruddbank", certainly Bamford owned the "Crestbank" whilst she was laid up int he Fal - don't know about any others though.

Hi Duncan: You are correct, she was built as "Ruddbank"; after 19 years my memory was faulty. When I consulted my notebook at the office today, I realised that I was also incorrect in saying that her name was "Tamahine". She was named "Tamapatcheree" when I inspected her at Liverpool N.S., but she was owned by Tamahine Shipping. Alan.

Your Business
Mohawk Ambulance grows again
Mohawk Ambulance Service has hired 21 new employees as its business continues to grow each year.
The Schenectady-based ambulance company hired five new drivers for its alternative transportation services department and 16 emergency medical technicians. The additions continue job growth from earlier this year, when the company hired 13 men and women in the spring, putting total employment at nearly 280.
One big push of health care reform has been to keep people out of hospitals and ambulances. But Vice President of Operations Rich Brandt says Mohawk Ambulance has seen a growing number of patients each year, likely due to an aging population.
The privately owned business serves Albany, Schenectady, Rensselaer and Saratoga counties.

EAT THIS, NOT THAT! is the only book that holds the food industry accountable for the surreptitious loads of sugar, fat, and sodium stuffed into foods that were once reliable sources of lean nutrition. It arms you with the savvy tricks and insider information you need to eat well in today's dangerous food landscape. With EAT THIS, NOT THAT! you're the expert in every eating situation, from the frozen food aisle to your favorite fast food joint to your local sports bar. You control your food universe--and lose the pounds you want--because, unlike every other customer, you'll know the smart choices to make--instantly!
Now get this: The pressure from EAT THIS, NOT THAT! is actually reshaping the food landscape to your benefit! Since it's original publication in 2007, here's how some restaurants have responded:
- Baskin Robbins eliminated its 2,300-calorie Heath Bar Shake.
- Outback Steakhouse downsized its Aussie Cheese Fries from 2,900 calories to 2,140 calories.
- Macaroni Grill replaced the 1,120-calorie Kids' Double Mac 'n' Cheese with a more reasonable 670-calorie version.
- Restaurants such as Quiznos, Red Lobster, and Olive Garden began publishing nutritional information for the first time ever.
- And that's just to name a few!


text: There were two skincare products launched with Cham-Pale: MAC Complete Comfort Cream ($32.00 for 1.7 fl. oz.), which is permanent (except Asian locations), and MAC Fix+ Lavender ($18.00 for 3.4 fl. oz.), which is limited edition. This post is more of a photo post than a review, as I haven't had the opportunity to trial either of these products as I would normal skincare products. I am not currently planning to review either in-depth, as my skincare review calendar has several other products already in line.
