It’s not just “fully exposed coast” it’s fully exposed **in rough weather**"

Trick is not to be anchored in an offshore anchorage during rough weather.

This is from facebook page at the link. Looks like the MSC Danit may have left the anchorage for weather, she’s westbound in this screenshot.

They may have not noticed that pipeline when they anchored and not fully realized the risk.
