Bad Things Happens in Bunches

Scanning the marine sites the last fews weeks has not turned up much to comment on.
Then all hell breaks loose!
(I’ve noticed the same effect around my office. One ship breaks down and there is a cascade effect until you can manage to get one back to sea. Thankfully nothing near the magnitude of the topics of the last three posts )

If you go to the Cargo Law site you can view the spectacular pictures of the Container ship MV Hyundai Fortune in flames in the Gulf of Aden. As of yet there is no reports, that I could find, of why the fire started.
Be patient, the site has been slow, they must be getting a lot of hits to see the pictures.
