I`m watching with horror the container ship breaking up off Sidmouth. Only few weeks ago there was a container ship in the North sea lost its power and was drifting towards a gas rig. Fully laden with fertilizer. luckily it missed by 700 yards. Could you imagine the impact that disaster would have had on life in the shallow North sea!!
This ship the Napoli probably its 20th name also ran aground in Singapore and had to have lots of repairs.I bet the repairs were not quite Clydebank quality. GET THESE RUSTY OLD HULKS IN THE SCRAPYARD where they belong before something really bad happens.

Ah! I thought you were talking about those cruise ships where everybody comes down with some nasty bowel virus.

Seriously tho... The Exxon Valdez should have been the last time a supertanker spilled a load because of a flimsy hull.
