This sounds similar to an incident in the past

A crewless ship washed ashore in Liberia last week, according to NBC News.

The oil tanker, Tamaya 1, reported its last known coordinates April 22 heading toward the Dakar port in Senegal, according to World Maritime News. It was found about 47 miles west of Monrovia May 4.

It's unclear what happened to the ship, which was flying a Nigerian flag and found vandalized.

Investigators are looking into a possible pirate attack, and other scenarios, including abandonment.

“Our best bet is that the vessel’s owner might have gone broke and had no money to pay crew members ... and therefore, the crew abandoned the ship," a port authority said to news.com.au.

At least one lifeboat was missing.

I guess you didn't read properly before deciding to comment, the name of the vessel is Tamaya and it was registered in Panama. Hope all is clear now?

An abandoned oil tanker has washed up on the shores of Liberia in west Africa, prompting an investigation – and speculation over the fate of the ship’s crew.

The Tamaya 1, which is registered in Panama, ran aground on a beach near Robertsport earlier this week, apparently without a crew or lifeboats. On Thursday the Liberia national police and bureau of immigration inspected the ship, days after local residents first discovered it on the beach.

The 64-meter (210ft) tanker’s last known position was on 21 April near Gambia and Senegal, according to shipping site Marine Traffic – well north of Liberia along the west African coast. The ship was en route to the Senegalese port of Dakar, according to the site.

The Liberia national police and the Liberia maritime authority did not immediately respond to a call for comment.

“Our best bet is that the vessel’s owner might have gone broke and had no money to pay crew members,” a source at the nation’s port authority told the Liberian Daily Observer. “And therefore, the crew abandoned the ship.”

Asked about why maritime authorities had responded so slowly to the mystery of a crewless oil tanker, the source said: “Robertsport does not have a seaport.”

After several days beached on the shoreline, the ship was reportedly looted and vandalized and speculation was rife that pirates or a fire had caused the crew to abandon the ship. Since investigation began, police have tried to keep civilians away from the ship.

Although tankers were once prized by pirates off the African coasts, the long decline in oil prices combined with a sustained military campaign have reduced hijackings. Off west Africa, piracy has been largely held south of Liberia, in the waters off Nigeria and Ghana.

Your case is beyond me if you still don't get it after I posted another source for clarification, commenting on a thread is not mandatory as far as I know on nairaland.

Apart from the obvious lack of home training which you have obviously displayed through all your posts here, your choice of words portray you as a child or a grown man who has refused to grow up mentally; the original post had two links (a fact you can't deny even if you tried)! Common sense should have told you that:
(i) The poster read the same news on several websites
(ii) You should have done a google search at least if you want to go into a blind argument over inanities.
So, if anyone is to follow your deluded reasoning, the fact that there was no mention of Panama in the article makes it invalid or the ship non-Panamanian, it appears you have comprehension issues too. I'd recommend you take the GRE/GMAT (doubt if can pass anyone though) since you claim to be a graduate of engineering in order to improve your comprehension skills, TOEFL/IELTS won't do it and years of education in Nigeria which includes writing WAEC/U.M.E haven't done it either.
You even lack the basic reasoning skills that come naturally to 'engineers', referring to a post aimed at clarifying a point and made 2 hours and 20 minutes before yours as 'rushed'. I suggest you stick to your business of scamming innocent/desperate wealth seekers, I hope that's going on well for you at the moment?

Let's take a hypothetical situation. Punchng makes a newspaper article headlined "Chibok girls found in Chad" and in d article, Chad is not mentiond but Punchng tells its readers 2 go do google searches 2 'research' for demselvs. What den, is d essence of d article?
My advise is, blend ur rejoinder 2geda with d 1st post so it makes sense.

'Irrelevant' seems to be a choice word with you, you can spare your lesson in fallacies for those who care to listen, I don't. As for you reporting, don't tell me I've hit too close to where it hurts; the scheme you're running is no different from the HYIPs recently banned by seun on Nairaland, maybe I should even do the reporting myself.

Stop beating around the bush! I'm not Punch, neither am I a media house; the two sources quoted in the original post are well-known globally and the report was posted verbatim. Don't tell me I ought to go about doctoring original articles just so I can pander to the likes of you. I suppose telling you I merely copied the article would have saved you the heartache isn't it?

P.S: Going by your your submission above, you read news on Nairaland without verifying if they're true or false. Why then do people ask for 'sauce' on this site? Rule 8 exists for a very specific reason.

You're just one deluded fellow, stop going back and forth; You started the attacks remember? At the words in bold, really? Isn't it obvious that I did that because of your first post? Just go and sit down, you're so petty you sound like a teenager just learning how to converse like an adult.
As to your last remark, there's nothing hidden about me, you just have to know where to look.
