The Solitaire has left scotland
According to AIS the Solitaire is due to leave Scotland for Algeciras, Spain, eta Oct 19th 1200.
Currently heading south, for good hopefully
Solitaire heading for Algerciras
It looks like the Solitaire is off to the Med - http://aisliverpool.co.uk/showship.php?map=NorthChannel...97000
Shell's giant pipe laying ship, The Solitaire, is reported to be leaving Scotland. The ship's destination is given as Algeciras in southern Spain.
The Solitaire was brought to Ireland last summer to lay the off shore section of the Corrib gas pipeline. The ship was withdrawn after a wave of protests in which more than fifty arrests were made.
Shell spokespeople say that the company is committed to bring the ship back to complete the job. Damage to the ship's equipment will have to be repaired before any more work can be carried out.
The Irish government back the Shell scheme, even though the Minister responsible, Eamon Ryan, went on record as supporting the Shell to Sea campaign before he entered office. Recent meetings between the Minister and representatives from Shell to Sea were widely seen as little more than a public relations stunt to make the government appear to be listening.
