Mustank Hypersonic June 18, 2015 Share June 18, 2015 If u have worked in a shipyard, we used to turnaround a ship for simple repair and repaint within three days. Come in, striaght to dock. Next underwater cleaning n inspection. Sand blast Primer Top coat Out of dock. Chop chop. Dock space is precious commodity. Its the money earner. They want fast in, fast out. like GTA pay and spray 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myxilplix Turbocharged June 18, 2015 Share June 18, 2015 I don't think they even bothered with sand blast/primer/top coat. Just slap a fresh coat on and paint a new name can liao. I just hope they didn't throw the crew overboard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camrysfa Turbocharged June 18, 2015 Share June 18, 2015 "MT Orkim Harmony: KD Terengganu is shadowing the vessel and is in communication with the Vessel's captain. All crew are safe and unharmed," he tweeted. "We are currently monitoring and shadowing the ship. We will wait for the opportune moment to retake the ship," he said. He added that the next course of action was currently being discussed. - See more at: http://www.straitstimes.com/news/asia/south-east-asia/story/navy-chief-crew-missing-mt-orkim-harmony-tanker-safe-20150618#sthash.Ly6hBsvQ.dpuf Ships original name: ORKIM HARMONY After the capture, Pirates renamed it: KIM HARMON Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myxilplix Turbocharged June 18, 2015 Share June 18, 2015 How can they know all the cargo and crew are safe when the pirates are still in charge? In previous cases they'll just lock the crew up in one of the cabins and bring out those essential crew for the discharge since the crew knows the equipment on board best. Looks like it's the same case here, they need the crew safe to help operate the pumps and machinery. Although i guess now the crew will be used as hostages to negotiate the pirates' safe withdrawal.

I don't dispute that this was the MO in previous cases but how can they know this is the same for this case? Maybe one crew man refused to cooperate and was thrown overboard? Without control of the tanker or eyes on board, I think that statement is bulls**t. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but news already reported yesterday that authorities had communicated with the Captain on the bridge who advised all crew were safe onboard. Which is after I posted about hoping that they didn't throw anyone overboard. So it's a statement based on news reports, not exactly bulls**t. Today's report one crew member had a gunshot wound to the thigh (probably to keep the rest in line) and the rest unharmed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmmm............ the pirates don't know what to do with the cargo of fuel and thats why sailing around aimlessly..... Beats me. Most likely they gave up. They were probably sailing in open sea and got spotted. The way they change the ship name to something so close to the original name seems amateurish.

Camrysfa Turbocharged June 19, 2015 Share June 19, 2015 http://www.thestar.c..._medium=twitter PUTRAJAYA: Hours after the pirates fled on a rescue boat from hijacked oil tanker MT Orkim Harmony, Vietnam said eight Indonesians were detained in its waters near Thổ Chu Island. Navy chief Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Jaafar confirmed the report from Vietnam of the arrest of the eight but said his men were confirming if they were the hijackers of the Malaysian tanker. "They were found near Tho Chu Island at about 6.30am. They were on a life raft and claimed they were from a fishing boat that sank. "We are checking their story and investigation is still going on," Aziz said. The eight pirates reportedly fled in the rescue boat at 8.30pm Thursday. Before that, they had directed the Navy to move its ships about five nautical miles (nine kilometres) from the MT Orkim Harmony. “They said if we did not move away they would harm the crew. So we turned our ships around and moved, and while we did that they lowered the boat and fled. "We did not suspect that they would do that,” Aziz told The Star. The vanishing act was only found out at about 1am Friday when the captain of the seized oil tanker contacted the KD Terengganu. Aziz said the ship's captain did not inform the Navy immediately after the pirates had escaped after he was threatened that his family would be harmed if he did so. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
