1. I wonder what’s in the cargo, smelly…garbage..?

   1. Pilot must be a “dick head” as well
      What an idiot…

      1. When does the whole real story come out. The World will be watching.

2. This is what happens when you use the “Kama Sutra” for a navigation guide!

   1. That all-Indian crew sure are … potent. Or have just been at sea for too long

      PS … I smell a remote, “self-driving”, program somewhere in Russia … or Macedonian content farms

4. According to a former merchant mariner over on Ace, drawing penises with your GPS traces is a common thing for cargo ships to do when they’re on station for long periods of time.

   1. Boredom produces some wild results: When I was the electrician on a 1/4 million ton tanker doing endless runs between Eoroport and Mina-Al-Mahdi oil terminal, the bored to tears mates would confidently report our noon position as 1,000 miles up the Niger river.

5. Maybe the helmsman was pretending he was on his motorboat, which is powered by a Johnson.

6. ok, so “pilot error” actually looks good for this.

7. I think it’s pretty much abundantly clear to anybody with more than three brain cells to rub together that the captain did this entirely on purpose, which explains him drawing the giant schwanson with his GPS. Maybe he got turned down for a raise, maybe his wife told him she’s seeing another man, or maybe the guy just wanted to have his 15 minutes of fame. This was his IDGAFA moment.

8. For context this ship is waiting for the Suez to open again. It’ll take a year for that to happen though.

9. From what I read today there were significant loads of ass whites on board as well as on those now blocked to supply the EU nations. Those EU retailers who are now waiting for next week’s supply are sure to corner the market. In a just-in-time economy I would suggest to EU nation citizens to save their newspapers for a bit.

   1. Yup, the just in time concept is designed with the idea that everything runs like clockwork with a well oiled machine. Apparently, there is no concept of IBS (irritable bowel syndrome). When the Suez colon gets a blockage, the Senekot supply is probably on one of the ships floating around outside in the Red sea, or maybe even backed up to the Indian Ocean. This will be an interesting development to watch.
