Scrap tanker open to public

On May 28 the "Tellier" was open to the public in Ghent harbor at Van Heyghen Recycling where the ship will be dismantled and recycled. In total, about 10,000 tons of steel, 500 tons stainless steel and 100 tonnes of other non-ferrous metals will be recovered. But one day before the start of demolition, the tanker was opened to the public within the framework of the campaign "Fight against Cancer', for a contribution of € 2 per person. On May 29 scrapping commenced. Report with photos: http://www.gentblogt.be/2012/06/05/zwanenzang-van-een-aardgastanker

Tellier reached scrapyard

In the morning of Apr 28 the "Tellier" reached Ghent, towed by the "Multratug 3" from Le Havre and assisted by the "Multratug 10" and "Multratug 11". The ship was moored at Van Heygen Recycling in the Sea Canal Ghent-Terneuzen. Bad weather had delayed the towage for two days.
