We have obtained satellite AIS data showing the car carrier Sincerity Ace and the commercial response that followed after the vessel suffered a major fire during a voyage across the Pacific Ocean on New Year’s Eve.

The satellite data is provided by exactEarth with the animation by Genscape Vesseltracker. 

As we have reported, the fire broke out onboard the Panamanian-flagged MV Sincerity Ace on New Year’s Eve as it was approximately half way between Japan and Hawaii.

Due to the remoteness of the location, about 2,000 miles northwest of Hawaii, crews of commercial vessels participating in the Automated Mutual-Assistance Vessel Rescue System (AMVER) we first to respond to the scene and helped rescue 16 of the 21 crew members on board.

As of Wednesday, the search was continuing for two missing crew members. Three crew members were located in the water but could not be recovered as they were unresponsive.

The car carrier Glovis Corona developed heavy list to port board during storm in North Sea east off Cuxhaven, Germany. The vessel was en route from Hamburg to Gothenburg, but rough weather and big swell caused cargo shift in upped decks. The source of the accident was not revealed, but crew was unable to repair the list by ballasting and turned back, securing at outer anchorage of Bremerhaven. The car carrier Glovis Corona remained at same position and unable to dock at the port due to large list of about 15 degrees. There is no immediate danger for the seaworthiness of the ship, but stabilization to even keel will be considered after weather improves.

Là où ça se corse,…

An Bord des unter südkoreanischer Flagge fahrenden Frachters sind nach Angaben eines Behördensprechers auf drei Decks rund 1800 Fahrzeuge, darunter auch Militärfahrzeuge wie Panzer.

… des engins militaires avec, par exemple, des blindés.

Revenons à la fin de l’article initial :

During the accident, the vessel was en route under cargo from Hamburg to Gothenburg and then to Middle East.

et donc Hambourg -> Göteborg -> Moyen-Orient
