Excuse my ignorance, but where is Southwold Anchorage? Is it off Southwold in Suffolk?

Yes. Southwold in Suffolk. I also understand that ship to ship transfers of oil may also take place there as occured in Lyme Bay before it was banned. However I understand that the ships off Southwold listed above are being used for the storage of oil and not for ship to ship transfers.

Suggest a note of caution to those who speculate on what is going on off  our coasts... particularly Southwold... Anyone who reads the local paper for the area will know the name of its political editor, and that name has suddenly appeared on here...seemingly feigning a lack of knowledge about the Southwold area. Co-incidence?

Anything concerning storage of oil offshore is a hot potato and maybe this is not the site for devious means of trying to extract info from enthusiasts so as to fabricate a potentially sensational story.   Also..if one newspaper is doing it, there are likely to be others!  

As enthusiasts of any kind, we all know how the image of anybody who spots anything is portrayed in the press....seems we're useful for some purposes then....!

Perhaps the moderator would like to comment..

regards
Ron

As data is from AIS then laden or unladen status is at first difficult to determine as this is not reported. However the fixtures of oil tankers for storage is widely reported in the shipping media.

It is not speculation on my part as claimed but fact these tankers are in effect being used for storage. I accept they are not then relevant to this particular thread ie on "laid up ships".

I share concern that enthusiasts are not unknowingly solicited by the press but at the same time feel we must beware as ship "spotters" we are not discouraged to report what we see.

Sorry FWE not particularly aiming at you... this is about misuse of our site by those with ulterior motives...or so it would appear.  AIS brings a greater knowledge of what is going on.. and it is easy to report info on a blog...but that also makes it easier for those with other motives to take advantage of it.  Perhaps we have a duty of care to our own hobby not to over do what we report...interesting question.....  no doubt many have a view on it.

A sensational article in the press alleging rustbuckets hanging around etc as we've seen before...which is the opposite of the true condition of the much vetted and regulated vessels these days,  would serve only to drive those vessels elsewhere...and we are then again the losers as enthusiasts

Cheers, Ron

I accept I should leave them out of any further reports as they are not "laid up" per the thread.

This hobby is also about sharing information and the forum has developed in the last year or so from gripes about problems with the site to genuine, interesting posts containing useful information. To stop sharing information just in case others use it for malicious intent is a step too far in my opinion. We have enough pressure from those in authority to curtail our hobby for the sake of our "security" or "health and safety". OK, there is a risk, but just like being told I can't do go out onto a breakwater to photograph ships, just in case I get hurt, I don't particularly wan't to be told what information I can and can't share either, "just in case"....

FWE - Your rundown of ships both laid up and in awaiting orders / in storage was extremely useful. It's just the kind of post that this forum needs.  The fact that some of those vessels are not strictly laid up is just nit picking in my opinion.

Maybe the answer is to vet more carefully those new members who join the site, not to discourage members from sharing info.

Phil
