> Based on AIS data, Besiktas-M had just transited the Suez Canal and was bound for the Black Sea port of Constanta, Romania. Besiktas-M, a bulk carrier, is more than 550 feet long with a deadweight of 53,000 tons. It’s unclear who owns and manages the ship. So I don't want to discount likely case of "just an accident" or even "the carrier messed up"... But with all the recent news of "dark fleets" (e.g. smuggling Russian oil) I have to wonder what it would look like if another country wanted to semi-deniably dent up some US military ships. Out of curiosity, went and found this: > Ship's Name : BESIKTAS-M > Former Name 1 : GLOBAL GALAXY > Registered Owner 1 : BLACK HAWK SHIPPING LTD. > Management Company 1 : SYNERGY SHIP MANAGEMENT TURKIYE PTE. LTD. https://www.classnk.or.jp/register/regships/one_dsp.aspx?imo=9291365 https://www.classnk.or.jp/register/regships/one_dsp.aspx?imo...
