Helllo, I can provide some information on the ship up until the seizure . The ship was originally owned by Will Galloway and was named WM THOMPSON. It was used as a platform supply vessel in Galveston, TX. It was foreclosed and later bought by my grandfather Elmer Galloway Sr. and was renamed Fox Trot Five. It was operated for several years under his company Fort Marine as a platform supply vessel out of Calumet, LA. The ship was then sold to a foreign buyer out of Columbia who ultimately used the vessel for illegal activities

I believe this was originally the WM THOMPSON (US ON 580725), built for Gulf Boat Marine Services of Galveston, Texas in 1977 at Bridge City, Texas. She was originally documented at 97 GT, and likely never had an IMO number.

Still no details about this vessel.
I saw her in Jan 1993 under arrest at Tilbury suspected of drug smuggling.
