Pollute pollute and pollute.

Though incidents happen all the time, media just likes to report them more now.

Time to buy a motorboat and a big sponge. Free oil for everyone.

 

[Tams]

There has been a pretty effective alternative to dirty fuels in shipping for centuries. Slow, but very clean.

Yeah, good luck telling modern society their order is going to take a few months.

Soon so much will be Trump's fault, we won't be able to blame him for what's really his fault.

It is a giant ocean....how do you hit each other.

It is an insurance scam.

Here you can see what happened.

PT/DE 8k ton freighter SOLONG drove at full speed straight into the side of anchored US/DK 30k ton tanker STENA IMMACULATE three hours ago of the coast of England. Solong had been on a straight course for 9h, holding 16 knots in fair weather. Around the tanker were 8 other large vessels, anchored.

They can just tow it out of the environment.

into another environment?

The only thing portuguese about this ship is the flag, only because it is registered here, but the ship is actually german.

It's any big vehicle, not just tankers. The very device you typed your comment from will have been shipped in one.

Are you being deliberately obtuse? The report was that an oil tanker has burst into flames and spilled it's cargo into the sea. I said it'd be good if we weren't so dependent on shipping oil around (so it doesn't all spill into the sea in an event like this).

 

[Kilau]

into another environment?

No no, beyond the environment.

 

[Hugare]

Right? "Immaculate" and "Solong" (so long)

What a combination

 

[SatansReverence]

A man of culture.

Both captains were probably scrolling through tiktok

Trump

Now let the very cynical Trump fix and clean up the sea. Let him be fined internationally for the damage caused to the marine ecosystem.

Trump does so much nonsense and still thinks he's smart.

I wonder how terminal your TDS needs to be to think like this

Man Arrested for Suspected Manslaughter in UK Ship Collision

It's still not clear what caused the collision in broad daylight.

gizmodo.com

Now an arrest.

British politicians have raised concerns that the incident may have involved "foreign interference," though a cause has yet to be determined. The UK's maritime minister, Mike Kane, said it was reasonable to ask the question, but they just don't know yet.


"At the moment, we feel there is no malign intention to this incident. However, the Marine Accident Investigation Branch will investigate," Kane said, according to the Independent.

Lol the reporter on the news is stood outside Grimsby Police station and the sign has graffiti on it. The police there can't be fucked to even keep their own station clean and protected.

Our police won't do shit.

Unless you post mean words online and are tier 2.

Didn't expect TDS in this thread. Looks like AJUMP23 is on top of things. Happy Monday.

I thought he was being satirical.

 

[newtypepilot]

tldw: most likely poor seamanship with the bridge undermanned. The ship would be running on autopilot in these waters. Solong also was navigating along its usual route, so a deliberate attempt at ramming is highly unlikely.

Oil is important, and this is sad to see.

Arrested ship's captain is Russian national

The captain of a cargo ship arrested after a collision with a tanker in the North Sea is a Russian national, the ship's owner has confirmed.

Humberside Police said the 59-year-old man remained in custody after being arrested on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter on Tuesday.

The Portuguese-flagged Solong and the US-registered tanker Stena Immaculate crashed off the East Yorkshire coast at about 10:00 GMT on Monday.

A missing crew member from the cargo ship is presumed dead after a search and rescue operation was called off late on Monday.

One captain was scrolling GAF, and only looked at his phone after parking his ship.

The mere fact that Trump exists in the world must be his greatest fault. How much harm we would have saved ourselves without him.

It's going to take more articulate people than this to reign in Trump. This kind of hyperbole gives him the power to exist in our minds to begin with.

 

[Wildebeest]

After seeing his friend shoot himself and fall out of a window into the sea, the Russian captain probably just need a light for his cigarette and headed to the largest nearby supply of lighter fuel. All perfectly innocent.
