What is the relation of the photo to this news? It shows the damaged bows of a ship whose name starts with "CAP", but noth the "Big Bang", which appears to be larger in size, IMHO.

The paintwork has scraped off to reveal part of Big Bang's original name - Cape Shanghai

No, Ted. The original forum post and photo has nothing to do with me.
