You want to know the reason for the increase? Just have a look on the chart for Cacao. Unfortunately, in my opinion, it is not going to decrease very soon. -

Russian Captain Identified in Cargo Ship Collision with US Tanker
So not curious then that the Solong maintained a course to an anchored vessel, even though radar activated alarms are supposed to sound at 24 kms, and lookouts who were supposed to be on duty did not sound an alarm, and the other senior crew who were mostly Russian did not react? It was 10 AM UK time, in clear weather. It was hardly a time when Bridge officer(s) would be sleeping. I have seen the plausible excuses like the tanker might of had its electronic identifiers turned off, but that then begs the question as to how one cannot see a vesel in daylight, in calm weather and that shows on other vessels radar when they are within collision distance? I have also seen the excuse that the Russian crewed vessel may have been on autopilot and the crew wasn't paying attention. I don't know what to say to that. All I know is that if the roles had been reversed and it was a US cargo ship hitting someone, we would be treated to fanciful claims of secret agendas. -

British Retirees Escape Thai Jail After Violent Land Dispute
In one of the various reports, I believe the elderly British couple were reported as saying their neighbours only suffered minor injuries from a "friend" of theirs. I am wondering if this is referring to a later incident where a "friend" subsequently got involved. Pretty typical conflicting reports with some saying a Thai beat up the elderly couple and others saying it was a Brit.
