Hi Kennebec_Captain,
Any further news of the whereabouts of Sincerity Ace?
I’m not actively following the story and I haven’t come across in news.
No worries thank you for the reply it is appreciated.
Cheers for the heads up Seadog much appreciated 
The Koyo Maru has entered Shibushi Bay. According to the guy’s twitter feed there is another tug involved as well, the Hayashio Maru.
Thanks for the post Sea Dog…
Tradewinds reports the Sincerity Ace will be towed to South Korea (Mokpo?) for possible repair.

From a tweet by YUKI TAKAKA on Feb 8th.
Class (NK) suspended as of 5/16/2019 at request of owners.
2021 Update edit:
Just to close out the fate of the Sincerity Ace. After sitting in Korea for 2 years she was sold for scrap in April. I guess it took that long for the legal process to resolve the various claims. She was arrived in Chittagong June 4th, 2021 and beached on the 25th.
