She may be there to tow the LNG tanker ISABELLA to the Indian sub-continent for scrap. The Isabella is anchored
outside Cadiz and was sold recently - reportedly for further trading but that may well not be the case.

My condolences on your sad loss.

A strange and premature opinion, given that the tower was hit by a giant container ship. Less speculation - more waiting for the facts...

These vessels under tow (even briefly...) to the scrap yard are not called dead ships for nothing.

I would like to pass your joke on to my grandfather but he was lost when his ship was torpedoed by a German submarine in the North Atlantic.

I believe the other vessel is the PRINCESS ROYAL IMO 5264663 Built Germany 1959.

Best wishes,

Barry

My mistake. Apologies.

I believe it is either the TRISTAR DUBAI or the TRISTAR KUWAIT.

Just spotted the one from Chas. Thank you to you both.

Thank you so much for this Peter. Do you know her name now?
Best wishes,
Barry
