Taken Saturday afternoon after the visibility had improved. Bear in mind that the vessels were over six miles away from me. The AIS of the 'phantom' tug, MTS Venge disappeared overnight - but is now showing again. A few theories have surfaced, but it remains a mystery how a vessel can be seen approaching the Vengeance from up the English Channel to take up station virtually alongside and not be seen. To add to the mystery, no vessel of that name can be located in the registry. It may be that one of the hulk tankers has had its AIS configured in order to be visible to other shipping and lessen the hazard of collision.
