      Default 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?

      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...

      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...

      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 one big trawler if it is, and they don't usually anchor and sit in one spot...

      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
