Dear Seafarers and Readers! Looking back to this Summer, the main event for many of this world was the World Championship in Soccer 2006 that took place in Germany. Before the opening on June 9 th , we really did not have good weather in this country. However, it was remarkable, all of a sudden like a blessing in the sky, it changed by one hundred percent and the sunny, warm weather stayed with us for seven and a half weeks continuously. At the beginning I confess I was most hesitant if this sport would stimulate or impress me like so many other people being younger or older. Over the weeks while going through the city, looking at so many faces from all over the world - ‘happy faces’ - communicating with their neighbour in the arena, at the bar or in front of a big TV screen, I am now convinced soccer is the sport of the world! The German cities were crowded with international guests, laughing people everywhere - we saw exchange of opinions - and the world was our guests and friends. The spirit of friendship was in the sky and watching more and more games even I could see the difference of quality amongst the teams. The final game I think was breathtaking. Italy became the world champions and our team totally unpredictably ended on 3 rd rank. For many of us these games in Germany will stay as the top event in 2006. From the shipping side we can report that we meanwhile sold MV “NORDSUN” as well as MV “NORDCLIFF”. We thank especially our General Manager Capt. Keith Obeyesekera and his team for their efforts in these projects, because sometimes selling is not that easy. The charter rates as you are always interested in, are at the moment varied: Lower in containers, rising again in bulkers and friendly in tankers. By wishing you calm seas and happy sailing I remain Christiane E. Oldendorff September 2006 NORD NEWS Autumn 2006 3
