Apologise for the DP gremlins at work.
Thank you for your explanation have noticed the double imaging in the past and put it down atmospheric refraction or technical problems.
I guess I was hoping that the Petroatlantic was unable to handle the amount of oil the AM has in her tanks and contracted a second tanker because of the delayed offload.

"tanker has to position..."
you'll also notice that MarineTraffic doesn't always display the orientation of the vessels correctly.
The offloading hose spool is at the stern of the AM, and it has to be deployed and retrieved directly astern, the receiving tanker has position in line to AM's stern.
Looking at the display right now...
the named position of the Petroatlantic is last night's position, (19:04 when I last checked)
the unnamed tanker is more likely the current position of the Petroatlantic,
and the AM is incorrectly placed because the hotspot (GPS position marked by the anchor) on the map actually corresponds to the bridge which is forward, it's not at the stern as displayed. (which is the default AIS location if not corrected for the actual position on the vessel)
unnamed tanker - you're using the free service!
There are two routes for the AIS ship information to get to you.
Firstly over VHF ship to shore radio. The AM's location is just outside the normal VHF propagation distance, so information received via VHF is intermittent. It can be helped by intermediate ships relaying the information, so if a ship sails by midway between the AM and the shetlands, the information can be passed.
Secondly by satellite link. This is much more reliable, but costs more for the service.
MarineTraffic only gives you information about ships free that they receive via VHF. If you want the detailed information received via satellite links you have to pay.
For the free service, they will display a minimal amount of information about the ship received via satellite, but because of the reliability the position does tend to be up to date. If they also receive VHF information,, that is also displayed with more data like the ship's name, but because of it's intermittent nature being out of range, it could be many hours out of date.
What happens is you often get two positions for a vessel, one with limited information in the correct position, and another with the name displayed but out of date. It might look like two vessels, but it's not, it's just two positions of the same vessel at different points in time.
(they could have programmed their system to only show one position for a vessel, but this is the free service, what do you expect for nothing?)
Regarding the unnamed tanker is it possible for the AM to discharge into both vessels at the same time.
The smaller tankers position has changed slightly but her distance from the AM has remained constant 0.3 nm.
