Hi
What are these three ships doing there? And why is there so much smoke? One burning and two evacuating and extinguishing the fire??
Other ideas?

That scene does not look good at all. Another ship I marked seems to be racing to help from the port.

There's actually 2 ships there, the one seeming to be going towards the "burning" ship, and one racing the opposite direction.

That is very interesting.
There are 3 chips on site, you can see the marks on the sea surface the other two made to reach there. There is this fourth fast ship going towards and another going away.
It really worths the effort to seach for such coordinates accident in the recent past, perhaps back to two years will be ok. Someone knows how to search for some boat accidents in that region? some public search website for such thing?

Activating the DG Coverage Overlay for 2004 shows that the image was acquired 2004-08-11, so this information could help finding the incident. I cannot reach digitalglobe at the moment, but the link to the image is http://archive.digitalglobe.com/archive/showBrowse.php?catID=101001000329E501

Maybe it's a drug deal, and the police are coming....
Good catch.

The burning boat is Eyrarröst KE-25 there was only one man on board, he was rescued by one of the boats responding to the smoke...
