Not really, all hope has gone. It's a matter of time, noone cares for these tugs but a few Dutch and some tug enthousiasts. It's just a matter of time. I don't know if she's still in Karachi, she could very well be scrapped allready with tracking not knowing of it.

Could very well be, it's just not certain for as far as I learned here. I know nothing of these systems as they were not yet there when I sailed these ships. But she will eventually be beached one day.

That's only 2 days ago!

People read far too much into AIS signals  ::)

You are right, Phil, but in this case dont forget the Maasmond Maritime newsletter (No.180 29/6/2014) has photo of GLOBAL DESTINY under tow at sea, taken by Imran Farooq on the tug ENDEAVOUR (probably when she was being towed back into Karachi) with caption:
Quote
Final Trip for a Grand Lady: Global Destiny ex Svitzer Rotterdam under tow MT Endeavour of Seamax Marine Services, Global Destiny is due for beaching / scrap at Gaddani, Pakistan in next few days :(

Suspect that it's taken a few weeks to renogotiate/arrange the scrapping of the tug with a dicky engine.

Yes, she is almost certainly going to Gadani for scrapping, David. It's just a question of when. As you say, the delay is probably to do with the dodgy engine.

I loved those engines, 2x Stork Werkspoor 9tm410, epic engines. I can still hear them if i close my eyes.
