It's not really a Ghost Ship. I was going for drama in the title. This is a one-off video and is not indicative of the direction I am going for future videos. I just happened to be in the right place at the right time to catch this ship leaving port. The cargo shovel “Tropic Tide” is a 1993-built, St Vincent & Grenadines-flagged, 6,536 gt Tropic Tide is owned and ISM managed by Tropical Shipping/Construction of Riviera beach, Florida, USA. It is managed by Tropical Shipping Co Ltd. It is entered with Steamship Mutual (Americas Division) on behalf of Tropical Shipping and Construction Company Ltd, LLC. The ship was involved in a collision at the SDSM Dock on the Saramaccastraat in Suriname on Sunday 1 May, 2021. Things went wrong at the SDSM Dock and the ship came to shore. In doing so, it rammed another vessel. Little is known about the cause and damage.
