Ayuhh....no.
That was the electrical lines popping.
You know, for the electrical lighting ?
Whoodathunkit ?
Those ships have several fuel supplies and probably dozens of tanks for it.
They use a clean burning marine diesel when close to shore and in marina/bay/harbor.
Once they get 200 miles offshore they run a combo of used motor oil, used cooking oil, and refinery sludge.....and smoke like all hell when they do.
I used to sell them our shops used motor oil direct, made me more money and cut out the skank middle men.
I had to ask why they wanted it so they were only too happy to school me.
To those that say the anchor was never dropped...
CAN YOU SEE IT NOW ?????
