Forget the Deep One<\/em>, Saint Kitts and Nevis flag, ex-Odeep One<\/em>, Panama flag! Take note that she is now called the Lotus<\/em>, Gabonese flag, belonging to a certain Seaeco Global Pte Ltd, born on August 17, 2021, whose activity is building and repairing of ships as well as wholesale trade of various goods. Is it a way for Seaeco to negotiate at the best rate possible the pallets of expired hydro-alcoholic lotions stuck on board its property?<\/p>\n

The international crew who maliciously took possession of the antique factory ship in the port of S\u00e8te has been at sea for 69 days. Is this closed-door situation bearable? Has the Covid turned up on board? For the past 22 days the Lotus<\/em> has been roaming off Sri Lanka at an average speed of 4 km\/h after having successively announced under her previous identities to be heading for Malta, Colombo and Galle in Sri Lanka, Chittagong in Bangladesh and Singapore.<\/p>\n

Have the port men of S\u00e8te who facilitated the escape of the Lotus<\/em> blues in the souls as they watch their ghost ship turning in circles in the southern Indian Ocean like a caged bear?<\/p>\n

The ramblings of the Lotus<\/em>, ex-Odeep One<\/em>, from September 8 to 29, 2021<\/p>\n<\/a>\n

October 4, 2021:
\nOn October 1st, at 15:53 UTC, the Lotus<\/em> ex-Odeep One<\/em> reports another change of destination. She is no longer heading for Singapore but for Mumbai on the west coast of India. She then switches off her Automatic Identification System (AIS).
\nOn October 3 at 1:53 UTC, she reappears south of India on the radar screens. She follows a course of 290\u00b0 then turned northwest at 336\u00b0 towards Mumbai. Her arrival is expected for October 8 at 13h04 UTC (18h34 local time).
\nShe is getting closer to the demolition option. Alang shipbreaking yards are only 300 km away from Mumbai. Those of Gadani (Pakistan), 900 km away, are not yet out of the game.<\/p>\n

October 8, 2021:
\nThe game is over. The Lotus <\/em>ex-Odeep One<\/em> built in 1986 has confirmed what was in the air since her departure from S\u00e8te on July, 23 and her wandering for several weeks off the coast of Sri Lanka. On October 7th at 14:47 UTC, the destination reported by her AIS was updated: she was no longer heading for Mumbai but for Bhavnagar, headquarter of the Gujarat Maritime Board in charge of issueing clearance certificates for ships to be scrapped. The Lotus<\/em> had reached the latitude of Mumbai, she went on sailing and changed course towards the Gulf of Khambat. In a few days, she will be beached in Alang. Price per ton: 578 US$. The sale brought in 9 million US$ for the owner and the middlemen. It formally includes the desalination plant. As a reminder, the Odep One<\/em> had been converted into a factory-ship equipped to pump seawater 300 m deep and bottle it after filtering and desalination on board. The industrial process as it was planned ended with the discharge of brine into the sea.<\/p>\n
