I have seen this in our local (Whitehaven) harbour while out on a bike ride today. In front of the blue trawler is another of a similar size.
Although I tried to capture it from a couple of angles, it is in a restricted area so this is the best I could manage.
The harbour is covered in a thin film of oil and the whole area reeks of diesel.
The local authorities assure us that nothing is leaking but, they also assure us that the permanent pong in neighbouring Distington is nothing to do with the giant landfill right next to it.
Plausibility is not always their strong suit.
