Abandoned Vessels Drifting in the World's Oceans
« on: February 08, 2014, 12:36:42 PM »
I read a very interesting article regarding speculation of the amount of vessels abandoned drifting in the world's oceans ummanned. I wonder if anyone really knows how many are out there?

Link to the article?

I don't think there are that many abandoned vessels that pose a threat to navigation drifting out there. That is, steel-hulled vessels bigger than, say, a sailing yacht. If a ship is abandoned, it is generally reported and tracked.
