"Below is what I found on the vessel. I am not familiar with Solchart Management."

Thanks for the info. That actually corrects some information that I had been operating under. When the story first broke, I either read, heard or misunderstood that the operator was Finnlines, which is a large and legitimate shipping company.

This Solchart Management has "shady" written all over it. Which, actually deepens the mystery.

Apparently Solchart was incorporated on June 18, 2009.
