Well, there are a lot of these ships going around the world all the time, and very seldom does anything like this happen. I just don’t want people thinking that zombie ships brought back from the dead sailing through the Strait of Hormuz aren’t safe.
Two options: one, it was sold for scrap and repurposed/refitted as an uninsurable vessel, or two: it was sold for scrap, and someone held back the registration info and has repurposed it for a limited time to obscure their actual owners/identity.

Buy why were these ships decommissioned in the first place?
Well, I was thinking more about the other ones.
The ones where the front doesn’t fall off?
Well, some of them are built so that the front doesn’t fall off at all.
