They said a ballast imbalance caused the problem. They were adjusting the ballast tanks at the time.

Is the captain of the vessel on board, or is she free for salvage by the first boat there?

With millions of dollars worth of cars...er car parts aboard, why can't this wreck be towed somewhere for salvage of the cargo?

That ship, even though it's on her side, is riding awfully high. Something doesn't add up. It's as though her ballast tanks were completely empty. I find it hard to believe she crossed the ocean that way.

A great big car wreck in the making.

Do you 'spose that they have that friendly Gecko insuring them?

Obviously a ploy by Car-Fax to bolster its business. Then again, it should be doing well in the wake of Katrina....

I thought that ship looked fairly new. Looked it up and she was built in 2002.

If this runs aground, it could be a bigger mess than the soy bean carrer than ran aground last year (Malaysian registered)
