Six ships have recently appeared in the Bristol Channel and people are trying to figure out why they are there.
People have been coming up with theories on social media in the past few days including that they be linked to Monday's drop in oil prices.
WalesOnline reports that one ship is a oil tanker and the others are cargo ships.
All the ships are waiting to dock at Port Talbot and are anchoring in the Bristol Channel off the coast of Gower.
One 200-metre long flat-sided vehicle carrier, Mediterranean Highway, is registered in Panama and weighs over 55,000 tonnes.
The other ships are Whitstar (Great Britain), Golden Eagle (Marshall Islands), Sagar Samrat (Singapore), Bulk Endurance (Panama) and SSI Excellent (Marshall Islands).
It is not clear how long the ships, which vary in length between 75 and 229 metres, will be anchored in the Bristol Channel.
Yesterday, Business Insider reported that a record amount of crude oil was being stored offshore in container ships as traders tried to find somewhere to store their product after a huge decline in demand because of the coronavirus pandemic.
US oil prices crashed to below zero for the first time yesterday, meaning producers are paying buyers to take it off their hands.
Although it is not clear what cargo the ships are carrying, one of the vessels is registered as an oil tanker.
