Site related news, functions and modules / Changes in posting and sharing Ship-Photos

« on: June 04, 2016, 08:54:26 AM »

Good Morning!

There are some changes in the shipspotting-net:

Please see (for example): https://www.facebook.com/groups/Juergen.Fischer/?fref=nf

My opinion: Shipspotting.com should add and establish a "mixed side" for shipspotters.

Regards Peter

As per shipwrecklog.com from 4th of May: "The tanker had been last reported off Dakar on April 22 before drifting onto the beach in Liberia on May 4. When authorities boarded the vessel, they found there was no crew on board. Local reports suspect the owner was unable to pay the crew. Thus, the crew decided to abandon the tanker off Dakar. No reports of any pollution released. Liberia authorities have launched an investigation into the incident."
