Discovered on May 4 on a beach in Robertsport, in the country’s far north-west, the 63-metre tanker, Tamaya 1, was last seen on April 22 after leaving its registered port in Panama.
With the vessel’s last known location far outside pirate waters, authorities are struggling to determine why the crew would have abandoned the ship.
The Liberian maritime authority could only speculate as to why the ship was empty, however evidence of a fire in the captain's quarters supported the theory of foul play.

The Liberian government has been criticised for taking more than two days to realise the massive ship had run aground on the Robertsport beach
By the time authorities established a perimeter the vessel had been looted and vandalised by locals.

Smart comment found at link. Ships like this are loaded with toxic wastes, potentially radioactive and scuttled in the Mediterranean Sea.

They have to loot no matter where they are.
