The three former Maersk ships that have laid anchored in Bremerhaven but are now being sailed to Wilhemshaven, of which Maersk Vigo and Maersk Valetta have already arrived. They were abandoned by the former Moroccan owner.
The German casualty command has decided to grant the ships berth in Wilhelmshaven. Maersk Vigo berthed yesterday at 1815 hours and a few hours later also Maersk Valetta arrived safely in port. Maersk Vancouver is expected to show up Friday afternoon.
The three ships have sailed ontheir own power, escorted by tugs until they were safely moored. The ships in the harbor area makes it considerably easier and cheaper to bring the meager supplies on board to the crews who are left to themselves, which they have been ever since the previous owner left them behind.
Aside from the ships having previously sailed for Maersk Line, Maersk has nothing to do with them. This, and the fact that they still have Maersk names and are painted in the colours of Maersk Line.
