It should be noted that this vessel was off AIS for almost 6 months during which time it sailed from Sri Lanka to the Ivory Coast, then to Venezuela and back again to the Ivory Coast. On its way to Venezuela the crew were ordered to repaint the name and IMO on the vessel, its lifeboats etc to VINE (9008744). The IMO number actually refers to a vessel called AURIGA, which was broken up in 2013.
The ITF has port lists to show that the vessel was anchored near ABIDJAN despite there being nothing on AIS
