webfact Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Picture: Naew Na The Royal Thai Navy has set up a committee to investigate a mysterious ghost ship that was found floating off the coast of southern Thailand. Authorities had tried to save the Fin Shul Yuan 2 that was taking on water and had no crew. They denied there was a deliberate intention of letting it sink. But that is what happened. Earlier reports suggested it sank about 28 nautical miles off Nakhon Sri Thammarat after it was originally detected about 100 miles from Songkhla. Picture: Naew Na Naew Na reported that navy authorities are working on the assumption that the vessel was involved in illegal activity. High tech equipment will be used to scan the wreck in the hunt for more clues. There is no ship registered under this name but it could be a Chinese vessel with a similar name - the first name being Jin not Fin. A navy spokesman said that some food and trash was found aboard. Authorities in Singapore and the USA are being contacted to try to get to the bottom of the mystery.

Geoffggi Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 It shouldn't really be that difficult, all vessels of this nature must have gone through maritime registration, and when they can identify ships that have been on the seabed for many years one has to wonder if it is cannot or do not want to find the answers. It appears to have been Chinese in origin but again this should be relatively easy to confirm, I'm sure there are several substantial pieces of the vessel that have serial or manufacturing numbers.
