I am all for ships running aground on our beaches as long as they dont spill oil or hazardous chemicals as;

1. They create excellent bank contours for surfing.  That wreck in Blouberg has elevated that beach break from barely average to  an exceptional surfing location.  I am hoping that this Jap pirate boat will stay stuck at Clifton so that we can    have some great waves like at Thermos's in Seapoint!

2. One less Jap pirate boat to pillage our sharks and tuna!

3.If they happen to sink they create great structure that attracts fish for fishing and diving

So guys maybe we should think of procuring some anti ship missiles and create some great surfing and fishing structure this winter.lol

I read on news 24 this morning that there are questions been asked, how come did Port Authority not warn them and also with all the fancy electronics [navigation equipment] on board how come they landed up on the beach, the engines are still working as well as the generators, was this deliberate????:fbash

In my opinion - they did this deliberately.If they pulled up anchor they would have been carried to shore by the wave action.Its costing them R235 000 daily to ferry supplies and food to that ship.Now it becomes our problem i think, but they would have to pay.

Smit Amandla, one of the most pwerful tugs in the world!

She's old now and may not have all the horses she had before, but she can still do the job. Well done Smit Amandla Marine, you guys know what you are doing!

My sentiments with the Captain,Fishing Master and crew of the Tuna Vessel. Thick fog and bad visibility could well have been the cause of her making the beach at Clifton.

IMHO, the Japanese Tuna vessels are one of the most seaworthy vessels I have sailed and worked on. I recall when on watch (Yusho Maru #5) I was praised for my better eye sight.

Smit Marine ~well done to you all. We are lucky the sea wasnt big enough to break her rudder/stern gland etc and damage her further.
