Ghost ship on Laem Chabang road. Cruise ship OCEAN DREAM creepy looks.
Cruise ship OCEAN DREAM is anchored on Laem Chabang road, in Sri Racha area, Thailand, Gulf of Siam, for more than a year. The ship was to depart for cruise in China, but instead, was anchored on the road and seemed to be abandoned and with no crew and due maintenance. The owner was asked to move the ship somewhere out from Thai waters, but no confirmation received so far, that the owner is going to do anything. OCEAN DREAM as it is, in her present condition, seems to be a threat to shipping and ecology, she may simply capsize in fresh weather, judging from photos.
Cruise ship OCEAN DREAM, IMO 7211517, GT 17042, built 1972, flag Panama, operator SHANGHAI EASTIME SHIP MGMT, Shanghai, China.
