Talk:Valemax

Suggestion
First of all, this article is very nice work in all aspects (sources, reference notes, language, structure...).

I have got a suggestion for the section List of Valemax vessels. What about replacing it by a closable template and smaller font? The same template could be used in the ship specific articles as well (for example MV Vale Rio de Janeiro). --Gwafton (talk) 22:34, 26 July 2013 (UTC)


 * You mean like a navbox in the bottom of the page or just a table encapsulated within a template? If you're meaning navbox, there are two issues:


 * 1) as of now, the table contains information that is difficult to include in a "compact" navbox (shipping company, yard number and IMO number); and
 * 2) despite wikilinking the ship names, personally at this rate I don't expect every Valemax vessel to have their individual article. While we could easily create articles for all 35 ships, where's the point if they would be just carbon copies of each other with just the ship's name changing?

 * Ok, there is no point to create new articles for each serial produced ship for at least few years, before each of them has got her own story. --Gwafton (talk) 21:09, 29 July 2013 (UTC)

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page
Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

 * Blacklisted link removed as redundant as the same section had multiple references. Tupsumato (talk) 18:54, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

List of Valemax ports
This page shows that there are only 10 ports which currently take valemax/chinamax ships - namely plus two floating stations in the Philippines
 * Ponta da Madeira (Brazil)
 * Port_of_Tubarão (Brazil)
 * Port of Rotterdam (the Netherlands)
 * Port of Taranto (Italy)
 * SOHAR Port and Freezone (Oman)
 * Port of Kashima (Japan)
 * Port of Komitsu (Japan) this link confirms the spelling
 * Port of Oita (Japan)
 * Port_of_Davao (Mindanao - Phillippines) - I think this is the right port in mindanao but it's tricky to confirm)
 * Port_of_Busan (Korea) - I think is the right port in korea but it's tricky to confirm)
 * Port_of_Manila (I think this one is correct) and
 * Port_of_Subic based on this link

possibly also and 4 ports in china Qingdao, Dalian, Tangshan and Ningbo according to the financial times are no longer banning valemax ships
 * Port of Villanueva (Philippines) based on this link

anyone feel like checking the info out for the other ports and making this list part of the page ? I was just looking for this info and couldn't find it - so started scribbling EdwardLane (talk) 10:11, 26 September 2018 (UTC)


 * I think that's a bit out of date: to my knowledge, Vale has closed the transshipment hubs in the Philippines after Valemaxes were accepted to Chinese ports. Tupsumato (talk) 16:28, 26 September 2018 (UTC)

Words like 'currently' have no place in a encyclopedia, this is not a blog. Please date changing information. «...there are only 10 ports which CURRENTLY take valemax/chinamax ships.» could be written as something like: "... as of 2011 there are 10 ports which take valemax/chinamax ships." Where the year 2011 is guessed from the retrieval date of the source. 2001:1C04:121C:5000:6D52:776A:C87C:294A (talk) 18:25, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
