Mystery of blasts on tankers
Saw this on gcaptain. Even they can get something wrong, the picture of the vessel listing has it listing to port, well it is if your looking at it head one and are a non maritime person.

Vernon.
I got a full page warning that this G Captain was totally unsafe, never had that before, it could be that the whole thing is a con of some sort. I always download John's G Captain posts as they are so interesting, don't know aht happened this time.

Re: Mystery of blasts on tankers
Many years ago I signed up to receive daily updates from gcaptain via email, so any posts I have made using a link to a gcaptain article has been done by opening the gcaptain daily maritime update received into my email account. Never had any notification that the gcaptain site is unsafe from my email provider.

You are maybe like me, I get e-mails from Vernon that we both know know are not from him, maybe someone has slipped in a bug in your G Captain email that you send out to the members? Just a thought.

I haven't had any member, as far as I am aware of, complain that when opening any of the gcaptain links I've posted have had that unsafe notice come up.
Anyway, this is the latest on those mysterious blasts on tankers loaded with russian crude. Divers will inspect the hulls of vessels loading crude oil in the ports in question.
