Does anyone know where the ship had come from before it arrived at Southampton ?
Link above States it had BMW's on it when it arrived
I hope it didn't have a load of Spartanburg cars on it ..
Last port of call was Valletta and before that seems she was heading from Middle East. No idea on cargo.Link above States it had BMW's on it when it arrived

Pics I took today.
The bulging of the super-structure at the rear starboard side makes it look like the cargo might have done a bit of sliding about.karma mechanic said:

Not so much cars as heavy plant like JCBs, stone cutters, cranes.

It's not going to be a pretty sight.

What is the depth of water at high tide?? anyone
Navionics shows charted depths of 0-2m around the bank, and a high tide of around 4.41m today, so anywhere from 4 to 6m depending where exactly she's lying. Max_Torque said:

Thanks. So without stating the bleeding obvious if they can't get her more perpendicular quickly then is she's a goner?
500 tonnes of fuel oil on board means they will want it upright fairly swiftly, and bad weather is coming in. Ship not a goner I don't think, but will be a mess for sure.
