Is it just me?
Or is the wind picking up and a drizzle started?
I think we might be in for a storm.
Will check, gimme a few minutes.
Boatfag Update Report
Update on the HONG KONG SPIRIT off the SoCal coast, about 50-ish nm S of Long Beach. See cap.
She's now showing restricted maneuverability and current heading shows due west.
Previously she was not underway. There appears to be a pilot boat or some other personnel boat in attendance and a tug nearby. Will continue watch. Won't be able to go round-the-clock so any other Boatfag who can pick up the track around 2300 eastern time would be appreciated.
GK out.
Boatfag reply about Chinese vessels in the Port of Baltimore
Noted. Not saying there is no capability but consider it less likely. Both ships, SHANDONG DE HONG and AN CHANG, are bulk carriers.
That means they haul shit like coal, bulk corn, not boxed items.
Also, SHANDONG DE HONG is a Marshall Islands-flagged vessel. The only ChiCom ship is AN CHANG.
Boatfag out.
SHAN
Boatfag concurs.
That's pretty much right on top of the HONG KONG SPIRIT.
Take 'em down, guys! Hooyah!
