The merchant ship MV Alta and the ten-person crew were on their way from Greece to Haiti in September 2018 when the electricity went out on board. The ship then drove all the way to Bermuda where an approaching hurricane caused the crew to evacuate.

One year later, in September 2019, the ship was discovered by the British fleet in the middle of the Atlantic. Now the ship has been washed ashore at the fishing village of Ballycotton on the south coast of Ireland.

So far, there is no indication of what will happen to MV Alta.
