It is known as the Genmar Companion nowadays and specialises in bulk chemicals, things what go bang.

Built in 2004 and has cracks in the deck? Must have been bought in Lidl. They're bringing it back for a refund.

I have a paid for MarineTraffic App and earlier today this ship was not showing up on it. So seeing the above post I downloaded the free SF Free Ship Tracker.

Funny thing is now, MarineTraffic is showing the ship but the free version is not.

I see the Granuaile is tucked up in Belfast Lough too, I wonder if she is on pollution control standby?

Best one is Shipais, the tanker is nearing Larne now and if it must go off it would be karmic were it to obliterate Larne.

Have you ever crossed the Atlantic in bad weather:rolleyes:
Its pretty obvoius that the vessel has gone to an emergency port for repairs because of damages done in bad weather.
It happens once in a while.

Marine traffic app for the iphone is the best you can get. If the ships AIS system is turned off the ships location disapears and come back when turned on again.
With the other AIS system especialy the free ones the data can be old, iv seen some nearly a month out:eek:.

On a different note, people who like the topic of ships/AIS/marine/fishing and all things to with the sea please go to the forum request and +1 the commerical fishing and aquaculture forum request!
