Watch: Cargo Ship Battered By Heavy Seas Snaps In Half
by Tyler Durden - Sunday, Jan 31, 2021 - 20:45
A general cargo ship split in half and sank after it was battered by heavy seas off Turkey's Black Sea coast, according to Maritime Industry News Agency.
The vessel ARVIN (International Maritime Organization number: 8874316) was en route from Poti, Georgia to Burgas Bulgaria when the captain made the call to anchor at Bartin to protect the vessel from the storm.
Maritime Industry News Agency said, "most probably, the vessel couldn't stand against strong wind and waves, and either broke in two, or was overwhelmed while being anchored."
ARVIN is a river-sea cargo vessel that is not designed to handle the impact of rough seas. This is the likely reason the cargo ship split in half.
An alleged video of the incident was uploaded onto YouTube this weekend. It appears ARVIN's crew, stationed at the bridge of the ship, captured the moment the cargo ship split in half.
Watch: ARVIN Splits In Half
It was noted by Maritime Industry News Agency the vessel sank, with six crew members rescued, four dead, and three missing.
Continuing down the rabbit hole of recent maritime disasters, we noted a California-bound containership lost 750 containers due to "rough seas."
Last month, another containership headed for California lost a record 1,816 units, of which 64 are believed to be Dangerous Goods containers.
How long until climate change is blamed on these maritime disasters?

Secretary of StateAntony BlinkenOrders LGBT<Flags, <Flown, at U.S. Embassies, -Will NameSpecial Envoy for<Gay <Rights
by Penny Starr - 31 Jan 2021
<LGBT activists are cheering Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s announcement that he will reverse an order from President Donald Trump and put up “pride” flags at U.S. Embassies around the world.
Outfront magazine reported on the development:
The Biden administration is off to a hopeful start, as Secretary of State nominee, Antony Blinken, has confirmed a recommitment to LGBTQ rights.
In a memo from July 2020, former Secretary of Defense Mark Esper released a list of flags permitted to be displayed at U.S. military bases. Missing from the list was the LGBTQ pride flag, which Esper compared to the confederate flag. Prior to the ban, embassies raised the flag during pride month on the official embassy flagpole.
During the hearing, Blinken also confirmed that he plans to appoint an envoy for the Human Rights of LGBTQ persons, a position created by Barack Obama in 2015 that wasn’t filled during the Trump presidency.
Blinken claimed violence against that demographic increased while Trump was in office.
“We’ve seen violence directed against LGBTQI people around the world increase,” Blinken said. “And so, I think the United States playing the role that it should be playing in standing up for and defending the rights of LGBTQI people is something that the department is going to take on and take on immediately. Raising the pride flag is one way to outright show LGBTQ solidarity.”
“Biden is the first U.S. president to openly embrace a full range of queer rights, including transgender equality,” Outfront magazine reported.
