From outside (building site at the houthavens across the ship) and with a good lens you can make good pictures of the sea hawk. Half an hour ago the sun was very good regarding the position of the helo.

Not possible to get nearby, private security company is guarding the ship. From the Vlothavenweg the ship is nose-on, so MH-60 not visible. MH-60 is visible from Moermanskkade. By the looks of it, possible will stay outside (rotorblades not folded and tied to the deck). Only one MH-60 on board, according crew (also correlates with FB page, only ‘511’ pictured, and multiple times)

@Twan & Steve (and others) thanks for the heads-up / info !

Helaas is de chopper inmiddels verdwenen...

EDIT leugens! Helicopter staat gewoon buiten, maar als je naar de kade toe rijdt zie je hem niet staan omdat hij niet boven de bebouwing uitkomt

So still visible from the Moermanskkade I presume. When will the ship leave?

It is unclear to me through the website https://www.portofamsterdam.com/nl/sche ... en-vertrek when the ship will leave.
Is there someone with intel about the ETD of the ship?

For those who were unable to locate the chopper:
* this (https://goo.gl/maps/BvYN6yHqAdE2) is the spot from which you can see the helo deck
* and it looks like this ( https://www.flickr.com/photos/pietertar ... ed-public/)
EDIT - it seems another ship has moored in between this spot and the ship we all want to see. Then this spot (https://goo.gl/maps/p1qV7FZKykE2) can be used, but you have to get on top of your car to get a good view of the helo on the deck: you need to look over a brick wall situated approx. 25 meters away.

Unless I am very wrong, chopper is inside now. :-(
Presumably because of upcoming departure...
