Car carrier SINCERITY ACE ordeal seems to be over, at least its’ ocean-going part – understood the ship arrived at Shibushi Bay, southeast Kyushu, Japan, in the morning Jan 30, on tow of salvage tug KOYO MARU (IMO 9162148). What’s next, is not known yet. No photos, no updates except towage positions, since Jan 9.

My name is Mikhail Voytenko, I’m Russian, professional merchant marine navigator, by education and former experience. I own and run Maritime Bulletin website for more than 10 years. I've been involved in solving a number of piracy hijack cases, including the hijack of ro-ro FAINA, loaded with tanks. It was me who made public, and unravel, freighter ARCTIC SEA mystery. I've been also closely involved in a number of maritime disaster, one of them being MSC FLAMINIA major fire.
