When they said gas tanker instead of oil tanker, I assumed that this was a local fuel delivery boat, not an international shipping tanker. I guess the article doesn't make that clear, though. Maybe it's something that the audience in the Bahamas would be more familiar with so they didn't feel the need to explain further.
- Animats 5y agoMarine Traffic has some pictures of the Tropic Breeze.[1] Pictures of a large oil tanker in the Jamaican Observer[2] are unrelated. The Tropic Breeze looked like a work boat with a big liquid natural gas tank on deck. Destination was Great Stirrup Cay, a 200+ acre island owned by Norwegian Cruise Lines and used as a stopping point for their cruise ships. The cruise line has a resort there. Not yet clear if the collision happened in open ocean or maneuvering near an island.
