K-Wave was in route from Algeciras/Gibraltar to Valencia.Her track in LOCALIZATODO.COM is spectacular.She changed her course to the beach at 14 knots.Looks like a deliberate grounding,to avoid sinking...

According to her track in the attached AIS picture she went aground at 14 knots in a position well far of the usual track between Gibraltar and Cabo de Gata. Seems like a big mistake on board...

The picture of the AIS track is showing that something curious must be happened. I hope to understand better in the next days!

Yes, I agree Federico. Hope will have some news before the official report from the Spanish Maritime Authority.
