Actually it was only carrying 7 tons ;)

[angusrastas]

Yep i realise this, but it sure has generated a lot of hits! Just making it sound more exciting.

[angusrastas]

oops! :)

[wfages]

That would be more like 700,000 tons.

[angusrastas]

no, it's actually 700 tons, you might be confusing it with litres :)

[SunsetSupermanRMB]

Are you sure it's beached? Maybe they just stopped for cigarettes

[edcoondog]

Oh cool, is that a badminton net????

@angusrastas does this ship looks for you like it was carrying only 700 tons? its.... was MV Paha Bulker.

HOLLLY SHIT! im not too sure if high tide could save her. how do you save it? tug boats or just scuttle her?

@angusrastas No...you're both wrong. The captain WEIGHS 700 pounds...

[mddeckie]

The 700 tons is referring to the amount of fuel onboard, not the tonnage of the ship(which is 65000 MT). The environmentalists are worried about the oil not how big the ship is. And since she is a bulker (carrys grain) the only oil onboard would be for fuel, lube oil, and any hydraulic oil needed.
