Utopia IV sinks... a fuel tanker???

I bet the insurance company put up a bond.

Bond?? That is evidence,, pending arrest & prosecution.
Has the captain been able to leave the country?
You would not get your weapon back during an investigation of its use.

Bahamas wants money, owner wants his boat. Ins posts bond until all resolved. How else do you explain them leaving?

Please don't get me wrong on my post about faults per Colregs.
I truly believe this captain and ship should both be chained down to an old and sinking dock.

Did it really leave or just re-located...

In miami

Don't have to much to care about the owner either. But, I think, He was not on board.
If I was owner on board and the captain came down @ 20 kts at night, I would have fired him on the spot.

The more I think about this, Yep, Owner should be chained down also. No correct observer on deck. apparently a current mode of operation.

Pics on social media show it under tow into the port of Miami, and another of it docked near a cruise ship.

Towed and docked at a commercial dock near a cruise ship. Not at a marina or service yard? Not at Miami Beach Marina or Miami Gardens Marina but possibly Fisher Island Terminal?
In sight of USCG Miami and US customs and US State???
Could be still under arrest?

If it had to be hauled, I would think Bradford in Freeport would be able to haul it, IF the Bahamian authorities wanted to keep it in the Bahamas.

Damm, If I only knew,,, Torpedo Drills....

Well then,, 81mm Mortar practice from the south bank.

Can you guess that I don't like this boat??
Or the captain.
And maybe not the owner..

Nothing against the boat itself, but disturbing to know there truly are folks out there that captain like this...gotta watch your six...

Well, That's what happens when you don't check your six..
You get wet???

Absolutely. I light up like a christmas tree at night, but even that wouldn't have saved me from this rascal.

Been 5 months,,,,.any development , or news , or rumors ??
