This is from a couple days ago. AIS shows the MV Maru alliding with the MSC Anshikia IV. Didn’t see anything about this elsewhere.

How bizarre! Not a trace in the usual places.
Marus berthed in Emden, Anshika VI in Antwerp.
(btw, I think Anshika was drifting. But since ship symbol reflects COG, I wonder what aspect she was actually presenting to Marus…)

“Course 348 : True heading 135”
but I sometimes wonder if that site knows whwich is which!
