Take Care As You Do Business In Great Waters*
Published by Rick on Friday, September 26, 2008.
*107th Psalm: They that go down to the sea in ships and do business in great waters; these see the works of the Lord and His wonders in the deep.
In 1984, Rationis Enterprises, Inc. of Panama, the owners of the ship MSC Carla contracted with Hyundai Corporation to lengthen the ship by 15 metres. This was accomplished by cutting the vessel into two and welding in a lengthening module. On 24th November 1997, en route to Boston from LeHavre, the MSC Carla encountered heavy weather and broke apart along the line of the aft weld. The forepart sank over a period of five days. The stern was towed to Spain where it was scrapped.
