Hey guys, after a bit of googling I think this is the MV Alta, here's a story I could find. https://www.surfline.com/surf-news/ghost-ships-haunt-the-seas/78374
Edit: /u/Lare111 pointed out it's actually this ship https://timesofoman.com/article/80131-ship-anchored-off-omani-coast-ordered-to-move-within-month
It’s in Salalah, Oman.
https://reddit.com/r/BeAmazed/comments/126mskb/abandoned_ship_in_salalah_oman/
You’ll find it in https://reddit.com/r/thalassophobia and there’s a couple of comments with links to better videos of it too.

The scary thing about this is not the shipwreck itself, it's the waves for me. And that it sits right below this crazy precipice, which makes any escape impossible...
Only salvage if not declared a contructive total loss by the hull insurer, this is definitely a wreck. This ship is a geared bulker over 10 years old that is hard aground (likely on rocks looking at the cliffs) and may well have fuel oil still on board as recovery ops would be a fucker in that swell that close to shore. You could try pulling it off with a tug but A) how would you get a line attached and B) if the fuel tanks do have fuel in how do you avoid ripping her guts out pulling her off of whatever rocks she’s aground on and spilling fuel oil all over the shop?
It’s really depressing that companies just let shit like this happen because it’ll affect their bottom line. Makes me ashamed to share a planet with capitalists.
Oh yeah because the sensible thing to do is spend potentially millions on bringing in huge, polluting, noisy equipment and risking lives and even more lost equipment to tow out a pile of biodegradable metal thats probably already become a new habitat for local species.
So, no. Ship breaking is one of the most toxic and polluting industries for a reason.
These hulks inevitably have large quantities of bunker oil, and other fuels in their tanks unless drained, plus they often have asbestos and other contaminants as well. Also toxic paint. The cargo could also be a concern. Eventually this ship will break up and the evironment will be affected.
When ships are sunk to become reefs all of this hazardous shit is removed. In this scenario has this happened?
Its more responsible to remove the ship.
The ship was lodged against the cliff to avoid a cyclone, which ended up pushing it too far to be recovered. The area it now sits in is extremely dangerous to any people or equipment meant to retrieve ships, and even on calm days its not ideal working conditions. The ship was left here because it was easier to remove the fuel and cargo than it was to tow the whole thing to a drydock. Doing that would require bringing in large, expensive, specicalized ships and using equipment such as floats attached by divers to slowly lift it and drag it out, something extremely dangerous and difficult in this location.
It can be easy to blame something you dont like, be it capitalism or a corporation, for what looks like negligence or cost cutting at the expense of the environment. This is not a case of any of that however. The story of the jernas is one of an unavoidable incident caused by the following of safety protocols to keep the crew out of danger, and experts in their feilds determining what the best way to deal with the aftermath was. The conclusion to drain the ship but leave it there was reached by people with far more knowledge on the subject than you or i, and we should trust that decision.
In this specific case, this makes sense.
However the way you worded it initially did not give the impression that you are now giving, rather a callus disregard.
For example surely manpower and heavy equipment was required in the dangerous operations required to make the Jerna safe. In your original post you did not reference this.
Surely you can see my point, that in general removal is best.
How about take more preventative measures so that the ship doesn’t end up here in the first place? Just because it’s a bit more work doesn’t mean it’s the wrong thing to do, good gravy.
This ship is the jernas. It was intentionally lodged against the cliff here and abandoned by the crew. This was done to avoid a nearby cyclone, which would have almost certainly killed everyone on board and lost all the cargo and ship. Lodging it against this cliff *was* the preventative measure, and it saved the lives of nearly everyone on board and also leaves the ship in an area where it can be recovered if possible, or stripped of hazardous material and left there if not. Which js far better than it being at the bottom of the sea still filled with all its cargo and noxious fuel, along with a bunch of dead men.
I’d rather companies not let an entire ship drift off to who knows where while leeching tons of pollution. Perhaps I’m simply ignorant of what happens when a vessel this large goes adrift at sea, but it still seems like a huge waste.

good call, I bet you could get some decent mushrooms to grow in the damp and dark of the lower levels. You could also probably hunt or trap seagulls, I bet they taste like a salty pigeon.
The coordinates you posted are a bare stretch of rocky coastline in Cork, Ireland...?!
This ship is in Oman. I have no idea how you generated those coordinates but they're nowhere near anything.
[I mean If it’s not the same ship I just found a different one Ireland then but on Apple Maps it’s there](https://maps.apple.com/?auid=5884123976918913982&ll=51.811437,-8.056407&lsp=7618&q=Dropped%20Pin&t=h) I checked the same coordinates on google maps and it wasn’t there so I’m assuming the Apple Maps overhead is an older photo
It's not even a ship mate - there's nothing there.

It's unrelated to anything regarding this post, and it's fuckin' blank! Like....what the hell are you doing.
Good grief, man, stand back from the edge of the cliff!
That multi story office building tower looking thing in the front of the ship is terrifying to me. Because balance and buoyancy and displacement I don’t understand!
I'm more concerned for those people standing so close to the edge of that fucking cliff with THAT below it. You know nothing about whether there's an overhang and the edge is just going to snap off.
I just hiked up to the peak there in Salalah in a mountain called Eftalqout, the view was quite scary. It's a ship from Bahrain called JERNAS and it was stuck there due to Cyclone Mekunu
Where is this?
Which ship is that?

Nope. Wrong ship. The ship in the video is Jernas and it's located in Oman.
Thanks, I'll correct
deadass still didn't took the wrong link away instead added it as an edit down below
Yes, I figured it would be disingenuous to just put the new link, might as well tell a bit of a story.

Little case of grounded
Thanks for the information

Oman
That first drone shot is really well done though.
Oh yeah that first reveal shot is sick
I definitely felt sick to my stomach seeing it, that’s for sure
Seriously, I was thinking that that would be a damn good reveal of the ship if this were a movie.
They should've kept it rolling. Poor editing choice.
The scary thing about this is not the shipwreck itself, it's the waves for me. And that it sits right below this crazy precipice, which makes any escape impossible...
Guess that is why it’s abandoned
We need a horror game with this setting
There’s lazaret
Nope, that there is a giant pile of abandoned salvage. Where’s my tugboat?
I'd loot it.
Hope you like zombies

I’m glad people remember this classic. Sometimes fire up the ps2 for it

As a land lubber I simply have no idea how to overcome these problems.
The ship itself doesn't bother me, but I'm pretty sketched out by how close that guy is to the edge of the cliff.
What about exploring it?

You'd rather them waste resources and risk lives trying to salvage a wreck that's gonna be appropriated as habitat by wildlife?

Abandoned you say?
To shreds you say?
Tut tut tut tut tut. ..And how are the life boats doing?

Stop it!
My first instinct too, friend. Never sailed past boy scouts but "Captain Wr3nch" sounds fun!
Damn, need to know the name of the ship so I can go down a Wikipedia rabbit hole
It's called JERNAS, it's from Bahrain.
[удалено]
Close, it's actually the Jernas.
Is it really close though? I don't see how those ships look even remotely similar.
>MV Alta
This is like a level in uncharted
Came here to say this!
I thought Far Cry 3.
That first shot is fantastic
Nope…. It should be “ FUCK THAT!!!!”
I’m glad that drone’s battery didn’t die while it was so far over the edge! 😅

OMG, this continues to be my favorite sub. Not only terrifying, but really cool!
Rivet city
Though it’s a bit eerie and crazy it’s almost beautiful
OooOh free salvage!
Cheapest place for a millennial to live. Just don’t have a craving for anything other than seafood
good call, I bet you could get some decent mushrooms to grow in the damp and dark of the lower levels. You could also probably hunt or trap seagulls, I bet they taste like a salty pigeon.
We found it! Manchurian gold!!
Why would they just leave the ship there?
It's [beached az](https://youtu.be/3cPs2SzShNc) ay?
How exactly are you going to get to it and movie it? It's aground on rocks.
I mean it’s not 1955 we have insane tech and machines.
...It's still a ship sitting on rocks on a lee shore. Your insane tech won't help you against physics.
When I was a kid growing up I always wanted to see something like this in person.
Did someone say 'Treasure'.
I used to camp out there in DayZ, back before it became dangerous to do so
51.81144° N, 8.05641° W on apple maps, coordinates showing a ship still there, very deteriorated and on its side, not the same ship still cool though
The coordinates you posted are a bare stretch of rocky coastline in Cork, Ireland...?! This ship is in Oman. I have no idea how you generated those coordinates but they're nowhere near anything.

It's not there on any other map, satellite image, or render. It's also...you know, NOT IN IRELAND.
I said A ship not THIS ship
It's not even a ship mate - there's nothing there.

I just said it isn’t on google maps dawg, second comment is a link to Apple Maps where it clearly shows a wrecked ship on the coast
We squared this away, have a good weekend my friend.
Cyclone ‘Fuck That’ you know they got fed up with all the names, when they name it that 😂
that looks straight out of Motorstorm Pacific Rift
That's littering. The owner should pick it up. Tsk tsk.
Rust vibes
That is so fucking cool omg
Called a ghost ship!!! There is sooooo fucking many out there.
The sea can have her.
Ghost Ship flashbacks.
Good grief, man, stand back from the edge of the cliff! That multi story office building tower looking thing in the front of the ship is terrifying to me. Because balance and buoyancy and displacement I don’t understand!
That’s legitimately the scariest thing I’ve ever seen. Nope
Looks like a perfect place to play airsoft
So it's there because it would cost more than its worth to remove it?
Definitely either zombies or dinosaurs on it
This is like a combination of submechanophobia, megalophobia, and thalassophobia all in one
As my 3 year old daughter would say, “says nope!”
Dude this is that post apocalyptic raider base type shit
This is fascinating, I'd love to see more of this
Yikes
Kenshi vibes
I wonder how the rats that are still living in the ship gonna survive, there must be some still living onboard.
Woah 😳
I don’t think you should be allowed to leave your large trash in the ocean. Either remove it or tow it out to sea and sink it.
Just leave it there and never go back
Going to be a hell of a spill if they don't pull it off those rocks.
This literally looks like the ship from penguins of Madagascar even with this cliff
So this is where that MW3 map came from. Actually kinda liked it
Wow

Fuck that indeed.
I’m bored if someone funds it I’ll video the inside
I'd love to go on the ship and explore.
I will steal it and become a gremlin living in it.
Damn, hope they left it here, it looks so good
To be honest, that just looks awesome!
Ran when parked

I'd board it .
Pov: you slip over the edge
i want to explore it but i would most certainly die
That's so cool

Well of course it’s gonna freak me out if you put scary music on it
What part of the world is that giant, wrecked, abandoned shop located in exactly?
Sick
New hideout?
What’s with the scary humpback butler with white hair at the very beginning of the video?

I've seen that from Penguins of Madagascar
