On 25 November 2012 in Six-Fours-les-Plages (83), 2 witnesses on the corniche of the Fort de la Collégiale saw a light between the Gaou peninsula and Île des Embiez and watched it for about 3 hours. An employee of Marine Traffic provided crucial help identifying the container ship Mol Marvel sailing south of Toulon. GEIPAN identifies it as the vessel seen at the matching date, time and direction. Its size, speed and distance offshore fully fit the accounts and photographs; see the investigation notes. The case is classified A: fully identified ship lighting.
