Cargo vessel Tinaztepe S sank on Misurata anchorage in Libya in the afternoon, March 16 2017 8 died. So what is the reason why general cargo vessel Tinaztepe S sank? Due to my research, the said vessel Tinaztepe S had also former name the NURRETTIN KALKAVAN. Ship is currently sailing under the flag of turkey and registered to Instanbul port. The general cargo vessel has overall length of 81.60 meter moulded beam of 13.80 meter and a maximum draft of 6.50 meter. The deadweight of the vessel is 3,201 DWT and gross tonnage is 1900 GRT.

The representative of the company of the ship set out for Libya to meet the rescued seafarers and gather some information from the survivor. The company said it is maintaining contact with the Turkish Foreign Ministry as well as consulate representatives in Libya and transport ministry. The problem of this case is they’re not prepared for any circumstances that will happen on their while at anchorage even if have a coming bad weather. If their focus on their main problem and they give a time to plan on how if the storm goes on the said site maybe no one died and early as early their abandon the ship before the rough weather hit the vessel. I think that the master of the ship was comfortable on the situation even if the storm is very strong. Another problem was the ship is too old for its 38 years of sailing on the ocean it will not stand on that strong waves and high winds. One problem is they ship is in the anchorage area their ship is at steady position. For me I think its hard to stay in the bad weather while you are anchored because the impacts of the winds and waves impacts will direct into your ship not the same if when you’re navigating you
The first mate, the owner of the Sally Anne, dominated his life with his boat to the point of never being able to sleep right without the hum of its motors. This artificial connection made between mate and boat can have major complications. From the text we discover that this first mate has dedicated his life to sailing, ever since grade 10. At the finding of the Sally Anne, it becomes an unhealthy obsession of creating, but later not maintaining, the perfect boat. The text shows paragraphs of the first mate going on about the boat, and how he could not leave it for a day. The irony in this situation is that he spent so much recreating this boat, yet rejected the fact the eventual flaws that accompanied the years of use. It was always just another water pump and coat of perfect white paint away from sailing again. At this point it is clear that the boat has become a symbol for him and his insecurities. At the flooding of the boat and at the initial loss of life upon the Sally Anne's wreck the denial towards the destruction shows how he was using the boat as his only life line, now literally as he clings to last of his dream. At this point of the text, there is no survival, and no acceptance of the truth he must

“Sinking or not, we have to get on one of these boats. It looks like they’re letting first-class on first, so we’re in luck.” I said to Joe. On the deck below us, I could see masses of people that looked like herds of sheep being rushed in one direction. I noticed myself a little more seasick than I was before, and that the deck seemed slanted. It was obvious the ship was sinking now. A guard nearby was calling for first-class passengers so we went there and climbed aboard.

This was allowing large waves to build. Unfortunately, the ship was no longer protected by land.
... (Lukee 3). Not one survivor emerged from the wreckage and the fate of the ship lasted unknown for almost three centuries (Lukee 2). The wrecked slave ship was found in 1972, during a magnetometer survey, operated by a subsidiary of Mel Fisher's Treasure Salvors, Inc (Lukee 4). Some artifacts were collected from the wreck that included bilboes and iron shackles that were used to restrain slaves (Lukee 4). When they realized that the wreck was most likely a slave ship and not a treasure ship, the company reburied the ancient findings and pieces of the ship hull that they had exposed and left the site.
Ship out to sea – had doubts but sent it out anyways (avoided error). James belief would react differently following the method of knowing the truth- which could have drove to the decision of either (passionate about either the welfare of the passengers or the destination of the cargo) depending on ones individual ethic. Despite the doubts of the boats safety- ship owner muted the ideas with past events of successful trips-on insufficient evidence. The authority of the mechanic over the authority of communal rumors.

There are four men stranded on a boat who are introduced in the beginning of the story. The cook, the oiler, the correspondent, and the captain are all on a boat that "a man ought to have a bath tub larger than" (360). As the men fight the crest of each wave they encounter, it is obvious that this is a desperate situation. Showing their powerlessness the narrator describes a group of birds as sitting ."..comfortably in groups, and they were envied by some in the dinghy, for the wrath of the sea was no more to them than it was to a covey of prairie chickens a thousand miles inland" (363). Even though the men are in grave danger, the sun rises and sets and a shark even swims by but seems to have no need for the men in the boat. The men even believe that the waves are harsh on them and want to capsize the boat. The narrator explains that "[the waves were] nervously anxious to do something effective in the way of swamping boats" (361). Even though it is obvious that the ocean always has waves, it is hard fo...

Morehouse sent a boarding party to the ship. Below the decks, the ship’s charts had been tossed about, and the crewmen’s belongings were still in their quarters. The ship’s only lifeboat was missing. Three and a half feet of water was splattering in the ship’s bottom, though the cargo of industrial alcohol was still mostly there. There was a six-month supply of food and water—but no one to consume it.
