Another toy I taught you about Smurphy, you didn't even know about it until you were caught talking bollox about fishing vessels.

What are you on about.  I have been using the AIS ship tracker for many years.

What was she hanging about for I wonder ? Nothing else in the area was ....

Waiting orders from the owners, who have to arrange a docking slot, given the sheer size of the ship is not easy, plus some of the containers will after all this time need specialist handling, which could be a nasty job.

Currently just North of Malta heading for Rotterdam at 11.6 knots.

This is "vesselfinders" NFO. She's been pissing about at the right hand end of this track for days, and now she's off. ....

  Maybe its picked up some dingy sailors and looking for somewhere to drop them off

The ship that made the headlines for blocking the Suez canal for a week was recently freed after its owners agreed a ransom SORRY remuneration package


But wtf has it been doing.


AIS is an app that does for ships what flightradar does for planes. The other ships in the fleet are in various places round the planet making 10-14 knots


The Ever Given took off at 11 knots until a put a week ago when it started drifting (there's no other word for it) at 0.3 to 0.5 knots doing erratic things off Sardinia.


WTF !??
