They were taken by a crew member and he says he took them after they beached the vessel. In high tide (and it is obviously very high tide in that
moment) beaching might look exactly like that...

Come on everybody!
I received an email of Mr. Johnny Sid from Turku right now. He wrote that he hasn't given up yet. The only problem
ist the mooring place in Turku - he proposes the old factory of Wärtsilä.
Please, we all have to try everything to convince the city officials of Turku. Still I'm sure that she can be pulled back hardly
damaged.
Please, now is the time to act!
@Mathias: Please help us again with your contacts!
@Mazel: Maybe you can add the info the Jetti's MySpace-site?

I hope that Mr. Sid is earnest with his ambition and it is't just politics.
Running Jetti back from Alang will take few moment and in that time there's good time to get the place. IF there's the will and IF there's the
money.

@yamsi: Please, can you contact the City Manager of Turku?
Currently I'm at work. But tonight I'll write to him as well. Everybody should try to write him as this might be our very last
chance!

I've been in contact with Mr. Johnny Sid today again. He told me that the missing cooperation concerning the moorage in Turku is the main problem.
Now he's got another idea: http://www.forum-marinum.fi
Please write to the contacts to be found on this websites:
http://www.forum-marinum.fi/site/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&a...
The email-links don't work but I think they are firstname.lastname@forum-marinum.fi respectively firstname.lastname@abo.fi (the last four ones).
Here you can find the email adresses of two Turku officials:
http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=392191139...
http://www.turku.fi/public/default.aspx?nodeid=50&culture=en-US&conte...
Please support our efforts.
We have to achieve a delay of the final beaching as the problems of this project do not seem to be insolvable. We need to gain some
time.
@Mathias: Please check your mail.

Hi.
Somebody might know me from before from other websites, the reson the ship is not beached properly is that its very big and it takes time to pull it
in. I do know the present owner, shipbreaker, so if your campaign dont bring succes you might start thinking about saving some of the fittings.
In this matter i can help you for this purpose, if some museum or other want to take care of anything when the breaking starts.
Regards
Andrew Shaw

Hello,
i think that will be a large missing, if this ship goes to little pieces. I have travelled with this ship only once, but i have lots of feelings for
this ship. That would be a large cultural thing if there is a possibility to save this ship, and somebody or some instance is doing that. I give
my all support and i hope that she will survive. Is there anything what one people can do now for help? Sorry about my bad english,
Best regards,
Tony,
Turku, Finland

I am worked at Wärtsilä in Turku for years. But now i think this company has sold nearly everything in Turku so Forum Marinum should be only hope. Can
anybody estimate the price of Finnjet, i mean how much money is needed to save her?

Welcome to the forum toni:
Yes, there is something you can do: write to email-adresses given in my post of 1-7-2008 at 21:19. Tell those people that "Finnjet" is worth to be
kept alive.
Please support our efforts.

The time is running out ! The mooring place is kind of a promlem which sooner or later would be solved if Finnjet would return to north Europe.
The main focus should be on stoping the next beaching process. If someene still wants Finnjet they should ask how much would the owners of Finnjet
charge of a postpone of the next beaching process.
The capital needed might be easily raised if for example Tallink Silja would arrange a "Delay the scrapping of the Finnjet" campaign on their ships
and port terminals by asking their passengers to donate 2 - 4 euros into the campaign. If more than needed money is raised they could sponsor the
return voyage to Finland. In case Finnjet is not sold during the delay, the rest of the money they could donated to the International Red Cross ,which
would also be good for the Tallink Silja image although Finnjet would be scrapped.

I guess that's the latest Jetti "video" in YouTube -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOSBR0Pmeec
Nice touch with Sibelius's Finlandia.
But why almost everybody uses/remembers Jetti as Silja Line vessel? For me it still is the original Finnlines vessel with blue color =)
BTW, status is still "waiting" @ http://www.gmbports.org/showship.php?shipid=18747 . Anyway, as Mathias wrote it's still the same for MS France/Norway/Blue
Lady...

Finnjet is always blue in my eyes as well. But Silja did own it more than twice as long as Finnlines did. There simply isn't as much pictures or
movies (video or film) on the original as from the Silja era.

And most or maybe at least many of us haven't been old enough yet to remember too much of the Finnlines times, I for an instance wasn't even alive
yet when the ship change dto Silja

Turun Sanomat has interviewed Mr. Johnny Sid. He tells he has had lots of e-mail from all over the world and believes that Rishi Ship Breakers have
kept Finnjet untouched because they think it's in too good condition to be scrapped and have hoped that there would be a last minute buyer.
On the article it is said that it seems that there's no hope left because all the rescue attempts have failed and Finnjet will be permanently beached
tomorrow and the actual breakage will start on saturday.

I´m sorry,but I have to agree.I´ve called the indian shipbroker a few minutes ago and they told me that its really a shame to broke up this unique and
of course well preserved ship,but if there´s no good bid until tomorrow,Finnjet will be beached on tomorrow...unfortunately...
They also told me that the ship is until now in very good condition and it would be no problem to push her back in deeper water...
So if´there´s anybody out there who wants to preserve her...this might be the last 24 h to do something...
I´m absolutely sure,that this is possible...
e-mail add of Mr.Sid who told a lot people how he thinks to preserve Jetti... johnny.sid@gmail.com

I've also been in contact to the Indian shipbreakers today: the fact is if there's no good bid until tomorrow she'll finally be beached. From the
position she's now in it wouldn't be a problem to pull her back I was told!
It's definitely a shame due to the great shape she's in!
Please! Everybody! You have to call the shipbreakers to achieve a last delay! And we all have to write to Johnny Sid - normally he checks his
mail quite late in the evening. Maybe he can talk to the shipbreakers a very last time and ask for a delay.
This is the last chance!

emailed to Mr. Sid. too
I don't know if that would be of any help, or if he really has any plans for saving the ship, but he might be the last change left.
Anyone contacted Mr. Saarikangas lately? This project would need him as well. What about those oriental contacts? And what is wrong with the Finnish
press that has been very very pessimistic all the way?
I have been following this forum for a long time, but had no new ideas or contacts to help with. But I would like to thank all of you actives for
keeping up the hope and doing your best to save the ship!

I have wondered the same. If the press would not have brought up negative issues about the Turku plan - such as no mooring place and "twisting
words" of captain who said the ship is in need of maintenance... (he had seen it outside only and said it needs paint, the press turned that into a
big and expensive maintenance) ... I guess the Turku plan would have come true in the first try. When press brought up all the negative issues it
frightened possible investors and the interest to participate the plan was low.

Please don't give up Jetti and call the Indian shipbreakers again to achieve a delay of the final beaching! And write to Johnny Sid! He's
still interested as far as I know.
Mr. Saarikangas didn't answer my last mails but he told me before that he has given up as there as was too little time to save her. But everybody
should write to him again. His email-adress can be found here: http://www.espoonkokoomus.fi/index/valtuustoryhma
It's up to all of us!
@Mathias: Please try everything for the delay of the final beaching!!!

@ Mazel, @ bigbuddy: I have done all I can do already, don't overestimate my abilities... 
I'm not very comfortable with Johnnys email and the breakers phone numbers above actually, they are most probably not informed about this either
