You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.239.0.0/16 has been blocked by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~}}. You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 07:37, 6 August 2027. Your current IP address is 3.239.103.63.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''''Spice Islander I''''' was a {{GRT|836}} [[Roll-on/roll-off|Ro-Ro]] ferry which was built in Greece in 1967 as '''''Marianna'''''. She was renamed '''''Apostolos P''''' following a sale in 1988. She was sold to a Honduran company in 2007 and renamed '''''Spice Islander I'''''. On 10 September 2011, she sank, resulting in the deaths of 1,573 people, many of whom were never recovered.<ref name="Sadallah">{{cite news |last=Sadallah |first=Mwinyi |url=http://www.ippmedia.com/frontend/index.php?l=37649 |title=MV Spice Islander's report: Try marine executives, ship owner |publisher=IPP Media |date=20 January 2012}}</ref>

==Description==
The ship was {{convert|60.00|m|ft}} long, with a beam of {{convert|11.40|m|ft}}. She was assessed at {{GRT|836}}, {{NRT|663}}, 225 [[deadweight tonnage|DWT]].

==History==
Built in 1967 as ''Marianna'' for an unknown owner, she was later sold to Theologos P. Naftiliaki of [[Piraeus]], Greece. In 1988, ''Marianna'' was sold to Apostolos Shipping and renamed ''Apostolos P''. She was later sold to Saronikos Ferries and placed in service on the Piraeus – [[Aegina]] – [[Agistri]] route.<ref name=Fakta/>

In 2005, ''Apostolos P'' was registered to [[Hellenic Seaways]]. In 2007, she was sold to Makame Hasnuu of [[Zanzibar]], [[Tanzania]], and renamed ''Spice Islander I''.<ref name=Fakta/>

On 25 September 2007, ''Spice Islander I'' was off the coast of [[Somalia]] when she experienced engine problems due to contaminated fuel. After the alarm had been raised via [[Kenya]], {{USS|Stout|DDG-55|6}} from [[Combined Task Force 150]] was sent to her aid.<ref name=Dubai>{{cite web|url=http://www.cusnc.navy.mil/marlo/Events/events_files/MARLO-Dubai-Flier%202007.pdf |title=M/V Spice Islander, Marlo Success Story |work=2007 MARLO Conference |publisher=Maritime Liaison Office |date=December 2007 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120319181811/http://www.cusnc.navy.mil/marlo/Events/events_files/MARLO-Dubai-Flier%202007.pdf |archivedate=2012-03-19 }}</ref> The ship was on a voyage from [[Oman]] to Tanzania and was not carrying any passengers. {{USS|James E. Williams|DDG-95|6}} also responded. ''Stout'' provided the ship with {{convert|7,800|USgal}} of fuel and supplied the ten crew with food and water. After her engines were restarted, she resumed her voyage to Tanzania.<ref name=Stout>{{cite web|url=http://www.navy.mil/search/print.asp?story_id=32116&VIRIN=&imagetype=0&page=1 |title=USS Stout Assists Distressed Vessel Off Somali Coast |publisher=United States Navy |date=27 September 2007 |accessdate=10 September 2011 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20121016131131/http://www.navy.mil/search/print.asp?story_id=32116&VIRIN=&imagetype=0&page=1 |archivedate=16 October 2012 }}</ref>
