C-Whale: The Voyage to Nowhere!
« on: December 29, 2011, 05:18:43 PM »
Looking more like the Voyage of the Flying Dutchman, things looked good two days ago, when it looked like the C Whale landed a berth. Then a flip-flop, and back to steaming in circles.

Now I realize there are many "professional" mariners here on the forum "rolling their eyes and saying, turn off the transponder." But they didn't. And I know from my career as a businessman, that an asset like this has "overhead expenses" - the daily cost of operating the vessel incurred, with or without a cargo. This is just like a long haul trucker driving around for over a month with no cargo!

33 days and counting!

1. What on earth is the problem?
2  How much does it cost TMT to run this vessel?
3. If you have a worse example of steaming in circles, we'd like to hear about it!

Inquiring minds need to know ...

have you tried contacting TMT and asking them directly?

and while i am interested in why she is steaming in circles, is it really necessary to start a new thread every time?
