Vessel off Estepona Coast
Anyone know what the large motor vessel is that's been hanging about off the coast of Estepona for the past few weeks?
It looks like a research vessel, there has been a lot of interest in this area lately and Spain has been arguing writes to certain wrecks with a US company Odyssey Marine.
Somebody said it was a roll-on ferry but it doesn't look like one...
Just curious if anyone knows?
I had a look for info but came up with zilch so far, anybody find out anything ?

It's been up and down the coast for a few weeks, but now it's static anchored bow and stern and it sits there all night lights blazing, so I guess they have found what they were looking for...
That's really odd.... Maybe you should take a photo and upload it here so we can all get a good look at it

It's quite a way out I can see it OK with binoculars but not good enough to see a name...
Will try and get a photo of some kind...
OK put my best zoom lens on and its still a long way out so zoomed in and cropped on computer, bit hazy out there though...

Interesting...
Could it be a fishing boat? Or some sort of "cleaning boat"...
In Barcelona they have vessels that clean the sea water from rubbish dumped by the tourists...

It looks like a deep sea trawler to me.

It's fixing a busted undersea comm's cable

Maybe it is fixing a cable makes sense but why would it spend 3 weeks looking for it, you would think it would know where it is. Mind you if its a Spanish company maybe not if it's anything like the wiring in my house
I am waiting for the vessels identity from another source that would reveal all, I've even been told its the Mallorca ferry so until I know for sure you can see my scepticism
