Voyage History
Over its last
30-plus voyages from
August 2005, Solar 1
was loaded with
approximately the
same volume and
weight of product.
If this constituted
“overloading” for
each of these
voyages, and if we
assume that
“overloading”
contributed to the
sinking of the
vessel, then Solar
should have sank a
long time ago.
