By 2011 she was 'a long way from Tipperary' then

Probably got lost.
If you read the report of her grounding, she was not the best ship in the world to point in the right direction, backwards or forwards. She was twin screw but her twin rudders were offset, instead of being inline, which gave her some interesting habits which took some getting used to.
