Also, the longitude location in the article is not correct


The ship was measuring 293m in the overlay ( 37m too short )
I've now tweaked the the centre of the vessel to now sit dead on Latitude 4.595N, longitude 48.085E, with the ship measuring 330 metres.

Going off the Guardian article -its now overlayed at the correct location and showing the correct length.

However, your overlay alignment and location is in error.




The alignment in Google Maps does not correspond with GE-->so it appear mis-aligned in GMaps.

Do you have other information to the exact location of the vessel? Have the Guardian newspaper got it wrong?
