Great shot! But I would like to know how the crewmembers felt, specially those in the engine-room.... At the bridge you see things coming...

Was it a quick roll? Or a very slow roll indicated a low stability?? That's even more scary..

G'day Michael, she was rolling in the swell, each roll getting more extreme.

Thanks Paul, currently she's at anchor up your way for inspection. The rumour is that she touched bottom . . .

Classic case of parametric rolling
The vessels draft was 13m and this is one of the most critical spots on the approach to Port Phillip Bay for both course and draft so with the roll it may have been 16 or 17m !!!

Doesn't appear to have been a very successful voyage for the Yang Ming Success.
