that's a swedish name, Stena Impero is what the brits stuck on it

swedes built that ship (who else has enough new raw iron to build oil tankers?)

so you have a british crew in a swedish ship carrying arab oil to where ?



Stena Bulk's Chemical Tanker Dodges Pirate Attack | World Maritime

Attempted Piracy Attack on Stena Bulk Vessel West of Yemen

RECENT: a Stena Bulk oil tanker seized by IRAN



it's bad news for sweden BECAUSE the ship is not paid for yet - it set to sea in 2018. yet swedes continue letting muslims and africans in their country, like "it's won't be a problem". will it be a problem when they are ramming your own steel up your ass and your elected muslim official is selling parts of your natural resources to foreign investors? then sweden?


here's how you do the NEWS !!

JUBAIL, KSA is likely where the tanker filled up - it's "port of call" is ... not currently easy to find

which port authority has the shipping plan i dunno

Port of AL JUBAIL (SA JUB) (south africa) may have been its' intended destination - and also may be the country who "needed the piracy to occur" - you never know

CORRECTION


JUBAIL, KSA is not south africa it's Saudi Arabia - and the other port listed was in United Arab Emirates on the other side of the straight of harmuz


Here's an executive summary:


reported (with evidential photography): the British Navy seized an "IRANian oil tanker" (we assume that means a swedish built ship with a muslim crew filled with iranian oil - perhaps not yet refined - that needs verification)

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-mideast-crisis-tanker-gibraltar/gibraltar-extends-detention-of-iranian-tanker-for-a-month-idUSKCN1UE16I

(i doubt they'll give it back at all now - with the new news)


the "Grace 1" was carrying iranian oil bound for Syria for - a war zone - for war use. however - iran has not confirmed this.

300,579 t (it's a LONG super tanker - only sweden has the steel to build such a beast)

https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ lists it's destination as gibralter: which you can be assured is fake information



reported (with evidential photography): IRAN, affiliated with terrorist (sa?), seized a SWEDISH ship with british crew and Emirates OIL (not british oil) bound for south africa (a muslim friend of IRAN?)



49,683 t (just 1/6th the size of the Grace 1)

https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ lists two ports (perhaps pickup and refining ports - the duty is unknown). but given this website shows only UK's official news - we can't be sure either port is correct




Sweden should be un-concerned with the news of this piracy that piracy AND DEMAND PAYMENT. because if piracy is an excuse every ship at sea will be an un-documented ship

(the people offering this registry are the people who seized the ship as well)


this oil super tanker is claimed to be built in 1997 korea

PROBLEM: this ship has been re-named multiple times. falsified names is how ships are stolen.


steel in korea 2005, a major shipbuilder according to them, looked like this: 6.5 iron ore megatons s. korea mining, 600 megaton steel imported from India sweat shop ship scrap yards from "various sources"

no doubt korea built ships, and cars, though, no doubt

is it steel from a stolen usa, german, swedish, japan vessel or one sold as scrap? never know. but likely not s. korean steel.

what is true is MAGA - like trump said the world takes US and others as suckers

Korea was protected from n. Korea - ends up with ship yards (and jobs) built by (government projects) while US's shipyards were told to shut down - while US ships were sold to (china, india) for scrap to fuel s. korea's business - CUTTING usa out of business

this all seems great unless your the one scrapping ships for pennies on the ton, in the "deals"

samsung builds allot of ships or repairs them - their ship yard is huge


fact: despite this it has to be kept in mind that it's estimated many ships at sea ARE STOLEN - vessels that "went missing" and who were modified (re-named, re-charted), and finding a stolen ship at sea would be like finding a stolen iphone in fairfax (more or less?) - especially if this ship has ports of call at ports your country "isn't friendly with" who wouldn't even share the time of day with you

SWEDEN IS GETTING BURNED ON THE Stena Impero - 2018 it's not paid for

KOREA isn't getting burned on the Grace 1: 1997 - it's had 3 names (according to UK)

IRAN got burned on ALLOT of oil - which is MUCH LESS than the cost of ship and steel holding that oil BTW

but who is detaining that ship? the brits

Arab Emirates OR Saudi are getting burned on a comparatively small shipment of oil if IRAN detains the ship

-----------------------

BUT THE BIG NEWS IS THE STEEL AND WHO IS THE OWNER, the oil is purely secondary to that matter

AND RUSSIA ENTERED THE AREA THREATENING THAT NO EMBARGO WAS ACTIVE

luckily - gibralter isn't near syria - and the russians don't know what to do with that

Tensions between the US and Iran have escalated after an alleged attack on two oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman was blamed on Iran by the United States. Tehran vehemently denies the allegations.

HOWEVER THE RUSSIANS SAID IT'S TRUE, it must be true

IRAN fends off attack against one of it's own oil tankers

WITH ....

The Sabalan frigate is equipped with a 114 mm main gun, along with anti-ship missiles, mortar, machine gun, torpedo tubes and anti-air defence weaponry. The Bandar Abbas is a lightly armed replenishment ship with a helicopter deck and hanger capable of carrying a lone light helicopter.

(one of 3 ships IRAN had)

In total, 11 pirate speedboats attempted to move in on a tanker containing 150,000 tons of oil on Thursday, according to the Reuters news agency.

CORRECTION - had on hand to defend one oil tanker

the size of IRAN's navy is an inigma - some will say the the 3 ships were part of the 61st flotilla

others say iran has not more than several (nuclear class) subs and fewer frigates

UK-built. an additional ship, 74 Sahand (ex-Faramarz), was lost to US forces (NOTE: modern surveylance ship that, like the non-nuke deal, IRAN should not be in possession of)

US-built ships: a couple of aged less lethal carrying vessels

correction: german ship above - was NOT recently made or sold by germany

what IS TRUE is that KOREA and IRAN and CHINA have bought older war ships (from usa russia dutch anywhere) and improved them and now manufacture them

reuter's says the "oil tanker problem" began with seizure of a vessels

but that's not so

in the 1970's IRAN had a King that used to sell oil to USA and others who was over-throw (USA helped him flee the country). IRAN was modernizing - but a homicidally insane religious figure told the country USA "is a devil".

IRAN began FUNDING TERRORISTS like Syria - attacking non-asian non-muslim countries (bombings) - and selling oil ONLY TO CHINA.

United Nations (many countries) began ops fighting IRAN indirectly (ie, in Syria).

Syria is the place where many terrorist attack funds were directly traced to - and to IRAN. It's called ISIS and their objective is to slaughter every jew and muslim between israel and india for a new very large muslim state run by military.

OBAMA and some asswipes from EU union gave IRAN a package to "play nice" (and not delve into nuclear weapons). The money actually was used to FUND IRAN NUCLEAR WEAPONS and hostile ambitions - and IRAN says "we will build nuclear weapons". OBAMA was never arrested for giving an enemy billions of dollars: he should be arrested for sending an enemy cash for "no reason" (reason - OBAMA friends got secret payoffs in asian deals - the part of asia where terrorists are not unwelcome).

U.N. issued SANCTIONS against Syria AND THEN IRAN (iran sent 80,000 troops to syria, among other things)

Russia (interested in syrian natural gas) sent a military fleet to Syria to threaten USA's ships off of Syrian coast - Russia also provided military aid to Syria.

Meanwhile, US and IRAN, everyone, have had to fight off pirates around the port of OMAN and also off the coast of AFRICA using military power - not always successfully - many ships have "been missing in port records" that there was no chance to defend - just reported missing. In all - many ships at sea are actually pirated re-labeled ships that visit ports "non-friendly" to those from whom they were stolen. Another big source of "missing ships" is war, and then post-war - when politicians "sell old ships" (cough - steal from their own country is more accurate?) IRAN in it's navy has ships that are actually USA WWII vessels, Dutch, German. But so does India, asian countries. Korea is one exception they got a huge shipyard and build ships and repair ships - but OMAN where there is piracy is very close to a SHIP YARD.


IRAN's homicidal maniac cleric is still telling his population that USA is a devil.

meanwhile in USA we were all told that we'd be rescued by green "FUSION ENERGY" before 2020

instead, USA has helped fund EU's "god project" and fusion - and neither has been much of anything except an expenditure of the USA

and as Trump MAGA fans know: US made great products and has natural resources: CEOS who sold out to asia are a USA problem. it steals our jobs. politicians who offshore usa natural resources to china, perhaps.

bottom line: people were making suckers of USA, using USA college funds (endless - given by Bill Clinton) to steal USA research. funds to build companies to attack usa companies. congress did nothing to protect USA's markets. EU and asians owed USA (who made many products) and others TONS OF MONEY after wwii - instead what happened is they conspired to run rip-offs rather than pay

MANY OF THE AXIS from WWII are living it up - their families grown widely, their riches, their countries producing products while USA's economy is attacked and hacked from all sides.

A constellation of solar power satellites in orbit could collect sunlight and beam it back to Earth providing theoretically unlimited power. There are no fundamental scientific technical impediments and only a few remaining engineering challenges that could be overcome with sufficient investment. Raw materials could even be sourced from the moon.

However China will likely pull ahead and surpass the US in space and reach the moon as the American Congress continues its political infighting. China has stated their intentions and they have pattern of attaining their multi-year goals on schedule.
