The reported info keeps getting more outdated reportedly at over 6 days old now since out of range of shore AIS etc

Latitude / Longitude: 51.0882° / -148.4910° (Map) - ignore the map- the longitude is pretty much exactly Anchorage so the ship may proceed in more N direction to Anchorage now -- but still ca 825 miles S of Anchorage over 6 days ago

I'm hoping somebody will follow up on steel plant alaska research- Sunny began

if fleetmon site JCM etc referenced is accurate, its fertilizer-

which again begs the question what happened to Baos 45000 tons of ore as per 6-25-12 PR at port after Qin Hai left 6-13-12- was it picked up sometime ago by a ship we were never aware of ? that would explain 1 eyewitness report. once ore passes thru customs it cant go anywhere but on a ship

CWRN's Ilia is the big Panamax shown below as per all the sources, including the Ensenada port website

A 5 hold Handymax that somebody posted a pic of on other board could not hold over 50000 tons and port website indicated loading 70000 tons at Ensenada as ly1 and iggy etc posted from the website

Anchorage is a big port w some very long berths up to over 1000 meters long-remember they handled most of the traffic for Alaska Pipeline so they can easily handle a Panamax

The most logical guess at this point is CWRN sent 70000 tons of fertilizer to Anchorage unless somebody can find a steel plant -to surprise us all- as Alaska has never been mentioned by CWRN and their fertilizer talks were w Eugene, Oregon OMRI

fertilizer would likely be more expensive in remote Alaska so maybe they got a better deal there
