Oil Slick Stuff

[James48843]

I’m watching them- it looks like a small, steady stream of a variety of both cargo and oil tanker, and LPG ships are in a single line, at 10.5 knots, and then disappear off the AIS system as they approach the straight. So some traffic is flowing, at night, in the dark, when they can’t easily be remotely tracked.

I do not yet see any reappearing on the other end, I’ll try and find one that does, and see how long they are in the dark zone.

We have no idea, of course, if anything is being intercepted in the middle.

P.S.- yep- a little string of ants all following the line. At 10.5 knots. Definitely some traffic is moving.

Oh, and two great big Chinese registered cargo ships just kind of plowed their own way through to n the last hour, without regard to anyone else. China is not hesitating to go.

With the AIS systems off and in very dark waters I hope the Chinese ships don't run into another ship.
