@ primedude,

Alang lies about 40 km S of Bhavnagar, the anchorage of Alang lies in front of Gogha, Bhavnagar is only reachable through a small and shallow canal and has a tidal gate.
I worked there with the DMS Falcon for 6 weeks and never saw any sign of ship breaking in Bhavnagar.

The 'AIS information' is correct, the 'port history' isn't

Correct? I did not know AIS could foresee the future

Alang is in Bhavnanagar, so the Port history Destinataion shown by Airnav/shiptrax is correct.

Not so old ship to be scrapped...

What kind of joke is the Port history?
