I am not quite too sure it is about trafficking. I feel looking at the Military Units, NATO, and other countries, there is a lot more going on. NATO forces looking for a Russian SUB out of the Dead Sea Fleet, Ships watching the Straits of Gibraltar, along with forces in the Red Sea on the south end of the SUEZ. Things are really close to ISR. There are too many things that are lining up in the maritime sector. Now devils advocate would say well all those Units are around now for security. You decide!!!
There is a world stage being setup. This is really a perfect storm. You are going to have a lot of forces in a very concentrated area real soon. Think about the countries in the MED and Red Sea directly near the Suez. I don't know I just have this weird feeling about it. This is going to affect so many things wether there is a plan or not.
Heres the deal that I am sure most are aware of but not every one is thinking about. The Cast or Pilot of that vessel is merely calling commands. They are not actually steering from the helm. To add to this lets not forget this is a straight line pretty much, typically escorted by tugs. Wind is not going to cause this. If that was the case there would be more instances of this occurring. Somebody did this intentionally. The question becomes why. I say to bring light to something. I would also say this did not happen from the helm. Think about it you have 5 to 6 people on the bridge and there is one person steering do you think they would allow this one individual to do this and not stop him or her? There are other places aboard ships to steer from (aft steering). I believe if it had been a mechanical situation the owner would have announced that and not said it was from wind.How does wind stick a 200k ton ship that is longer than the Empire State Bldg. C'mon man.
So there are Autonomous Cargo Ships being tested. Ever Given was launched in 2018 so theoretically maybe.
