State-owned Indonesian box and bulker player Djakarta Lloyd’s decision to scrap its 1,644-teu containership Sam Ratulangi PB 1600 (built 2001) came to light in a spectacular fashion last Thursday.
The crewless ship mysteriously drifted onto a beach near the township of Thongwa in Myanmar.
With the circumstances of its arrival unknown, popular media around the world went into a frenzy over the weekend labeling it as a ghost ship and likening it to a modern-day Marie Celeste.
