RYT SHORT WHILE AGO. THERE WAS INTERNAL LEAK FROM 3C C.O.T. TO 2 STBD TANK AND SO VSL LISTED HEAVILY. NOW HAVE EQUALISED 2 PORT AND 2 STBD TANKS SO LIST IS CORRECTED. HAVE ALSO SEEN CRACKS DEVELOPPED ON THE MAIN DECK PLATING ABOVE 2 STBD TANK. HOWEVER HULL PLATING SEEMS TO BE INTACT. HAVE ALTERD COURSE TOWARDS DONGES AS IT IS THE SAFEST COURSE TO AVOID ANY SHIPPING SEAS AS IT IS VERY BAD WEATHER. ALSO HAVE INTERNAL TRANSFERED 1 STBD TANK CARGO TO 1 CENTRE TANK TO LOWER THE LEVEL IN ANTICIPATION IF CRACK DEVELOPS FURTHER. MEANWHILE KEEPING A WATCH.
