2 x PASHA BULKER ZENFOLIO GALLERIES - Plus full details of the grounding and Salvage Operation.
The Pasha Bulker was one of 10 vessels (of the 58 anchored off Newcastle awaiting access to bulk coal loading facilities) who defied requests to move to sea by Port Authorities in the serious 1 in 30 year storm of June 7th-8th 2007. She finally dropped her ballast water and attempted to head to sea, to no avail, being washed up on Nobbys Beach just near the harbour entrance. There was great concern for the likely environmental impacts of an unsuccessful salvage but on July 2nd 2007 salvage tugs were,with the aid of on deck winches and sea anchors,able to drag her free,fortunately with minimal environmental impact.
The ship was successfully towed to Asia after basic repairs where she underwent major repairs to the damaged superstructure. The Pasha Bulker was given a new name and now plys the oceans once more.
Greenpeace saw an opportunity at the most critical point of the recovery operation when the world's media was fully locked onto the story to promote the case that coal causes global warming by projecting a large laser projected slogan to that effect across the ships bows.

This shot was taken the afternoon that the lockdown of the area around Nobbys Beach Newcastle occurred in preparation for what became a successful salvage attempt of the stranded Pasha Bulker.
