12 August 2007: NEW FLAME involved in a collision with TORM GERTRUD in the Bay of Algeciras, Gibralter. Loaded with scrap, probably loaded at Albany, NY shortly after this photo was taken.

New Flame is now "semi sunk" near Gibraltar a couple of weeks from the time this image was taken after a collision with Torm Gertrud.

As always from you, a remarkable view.
