Anyone know anything about what looks like a large cargo ship that's been on the south-east horizon for at least, I'd say, the last week if not longer.
You can't see it from sea level - you need to be up higher like the upstairs of a house that has seaviews in a south-east direction or from places like the top of Sandy Lane Playing Fields and Lea Mount.
Is it a tanker?
It could be a tanker, as it has been known before, for them to sit there waiting for oil prices to go up, may not be but possible
The large ship is the Neptune ace and is a cargo ship at anchor,what for i dont know.
its 200m long 32m whide and draws 8.5m draft,shes a biggun alright,but not a tanker.
There is however a tanker, The KOLA sat at anchor just to the south east of the neptune ace.
got this info from shipfinder,an app on my iphone :)
Thanks for that Only Me.
Yes, there is another ship there now as well which I don't remember seeing yesterday. Seems to me it turned up over night (although may be not). Thought when I first looked out the window this morning that my eyesight was playing up!
I can see both of them on the south east horizon as I type this.
