Well, there are a lot of these ships going around the world all the time, and very seldom does anything like this happen. I just don’t want people thinking that zombie ships brought back from the dead sailing through the Strait of Hormuz aren’t safe.

Yeah, that’s not very typical. I’d like to make that point.
Two options: one, it was sold for scrap and repurposed/refitted as an uninsurable vessel, or two: it was sold for scrap, and someone held back the registration info and has repurposed it for a limited time to obscure their actual owners/identity.
Article said one was sold for scrap in 2025. It may have had problems, but if it floats, and is uninsurable anyways, it’s a good candidate for such a risky mission.
The ships sank for your swims; but behold, they are risen!
Now, place your donations here, or you’ll spend eternity stuck in port beneath a flock of seagulls that just gorged themselves on the infinite dumpster behind Taco Bell.

The third ship burned down, fell over, and sank into the strait but the fourth ship! The fourth ship stayed afloat!

The word “spoofing” comes to mind…

Are you saying these tankers weren’t scrapped?
Well obviously this one wasnt

They are quoting a great video youtu.be/3m5qxZm_JqM
Buy why were these ships decommissioned in the first place?
Well, I was thinking more about the other ones.
Holy shit. Sometimes the stars align and the right article appears. Your account and history is chefs kiss.
It’s a great pleasure. Thank you.
It's a miracle! They must have only been mostly scrapped. Something about a ship of Theseus...
He clearly said “to blathe”… :)
Maybe they found some extra parts elsewhere! You don’t know!
You can see all the messages the ships are putting on their trackers to try and avoid getting hit by insurgents and the IRGC in the region.
Things like “Chinese owned,” “Russian crude,” or “no link to Israel”, “all Muslim crew”.
It does not surprise me they are stealing ship identities.
Could destroying irans nuclear reactors have caused a rift in the space time continuum?
Maybe. It did happen before, when Harambe was put down
Wait, maybe… Just maybe Harambe is captain of the ship and we just never knew
Big if true

I don’t know why. I think the cargo is worth quite a lot regardless of what was paid for the ship. ensuring the cargo was the problem I thought
Ship usually worth more than cargo. For insurable ships, like homes, value is higher.
Why? Why not just not use the transponder?? I guess it could look like a warpship on radar in a warzone so better to be safe? Anyone know?
