The ship owners and staff should abandon boring old freight transport, and realise they're much better at providing comedy to the world by getting stuck as often as possible.Uh oh

Lloyd's confirm that the Asphalt Princess has been hijacked and is now headed towards Iran.
#handscoatConsidering it’s cargo of bitumen this ship is being spoiled for much more than a ha’porth of tar.
Hope this ends peacefully for the crew.
Initially named Joasla, the vessel was sold in 1979 and renamed Orinoco, then again in 1981 to Rio Orinoco. As Rio Orinoco, the vessel went aground on Anticosti Island in the Gulf of St. Lawrence in October 1990 and spilled 200 metric tons (200 long tons; 220 short tons) of oil into the gulf before being freed. The ship was acquired by Groupe Desgagné following this and renamed Thalassa Desgagnes. While in service with Groupe Desgagné, the vessel suffered a fire and ran aground. Previously it was called Groupe Desgagné from 1993 to 2017.
A complete lack of imagination, I expect.I'd quite like to know the process by which the name "Asphalt Princess" was chosen. The imagination of an inspired executive? The work of a committee? Competition for primary school kids?
I think probably due to it’s primary purpose as a bitumen tanker may be the reason.I'd quite like to know the process by which the name "Asphalt Princess" was chosen. The imagination of an inspired executive? The work of a committee? Competition for primary school kids?
I heard that Disney were thoroughly disappointed when they found out the name they'd chosen for their next film had already been taken.I'd quite like to know the process by which the name "Asphalt Princess" was chosen.

I was speculating about the process rather than the reason.I think probably due to it’s primary purpose as a bitumen tanker may be the reason.
all the best names are taken. This was built where I did my apprenticeship, a bit before my time, thoughI heard that Disney were thoroughly disappointed when they found out the name they'd chosen for their next film had already been taken.
I used to see that one at Canvey Island, British Gas Storage, when I worked there in the late '70s - early '80s.all the best names are taken. This was built where I did my apprenticeship, a bit before my time, though
