    Default I am sure not!

    This is one massive monster,and i dare say they will just get bigger!

    But the reason i am posting this is to query the Headlines!

    It states that the Ship is 51 TImes Longer than the Superliner QMary 2 ,this i very much doubt!
    Or am i mistaken?

    That would make her some 20196 Metres Long! Nothing that size could float!
    As has been said these reports at times are so off the mark!
    But anyway She is a Big Un!
    Cheers

    Bad Navigation or is this done on purpose!
    Cheers

    Default Whoops

    Nice one Doc................ from video is not clear which is the overtaking ship which has a duty to keep clear of the ship being overtaken, what is unforgiveable is that the BEK ship still has her propeller on 'ahead' even after making contact it is likely that the smaller ship was drawn into the larger vessel by the bow suction effect of the larger vessel. Looks like the Sea of Japan where you need to be on your toes at all times no time for sightseeing in that sea, you put the chart in your mind as looking at the chart, and then looking up, the world has changed!
