Is their a guy in the hold named Renfroe that is hugging really tight to a coffin-like box and laughing very weirdly?

If so, push them back out to sea.

Pretty cool looking vessel.

Too bad they cost so much to operate...

That is a novel use of the word solo. If ships normally traveled in groups then solo would be apt but since they don’t usually go around in groups I would not use that word. Derelict, adrift, unmanned, unmoored, even rudderless. With the internet everyone is a writer but there aren’t any editors.

It must show where the scrap steel market is, if its not even worth towing it to some breaker yard in Africa or Asia to be sold for scrap.

Drag it back out to sea and use it for target practice.

the U.S. Coast Guard said it had been working with the ship's owner to arrange for a commercial tug to tow the vessel to shore.

Well, it's aground. Mission accomplished.

“...there is no cargo on board ...”

Why would an empty cargo ship be going from Tanzania to Haiti?

The Killer Whales are going all over the place, and now they’re finding empty ships.

This looks like a simple Cause And Effect thing.

They don’t call them Good Buddy Whales or Help A Guy Out Whales.

Killer Whales.

Ships with nobody on them.

I say we bring the Killer Whales in and give them a polygraph.

“Have you been killing the people on the boats? Oh, the needle jumped on that one!”

I think a derelict vessel becomes the property of whoever can bring it to port.

You float ‘er, you own ‘er.

Coast Guard rescued all 10 crew members on board after the vessel lost power while en route from Greece to Haiti in September 2018.

...

One year later, in September 2019, the U.K. Royal Navy’s Ice Patrol Ship HMS Protector spotted Alta adrift in the mid-Atlantic, but its attempts to make contact and offer assistance went unanswered.

****************

Someone needs to update their operational database more often.

Wasn’t it worth a salvage effort, even for scrap?
