Whilst notionally still owned by the company who bought her (unless she was in fact insured
and they have been paid out for a total loss which seems unlikely) she almost certainly has a
negative value as the cost of removing asbestos and other pollutants will exceed her scrap
value outside of somewhere like the Domrep. The latest reports that a beacon has been activated
suggests she may have sunk.

Paul, I have been wondering the same thing. I guess it come down to the legal definition of "abandoned". Can anyone shed light on this? ;D

I think I recall reading somewhere the owner saying that she was only insured "whilst under tow".

From the St. Johns Telegram News Paper in St.Johns Newfoundland
Orlova's emergency beacon activated
Published on February 23, 2013

An emergency beacon registered to the MV Lyubov Orlova has gone off, according to an official with the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre in Halifax.
Capt. Wayne Jarvis says the beacon first started off going off this morning at 12:49 a.m. Emergency beacons can be activated manually or automatically by either being knocked or hitting the water. The beacon is registered to the MV Lyubov Orlova but whether that means it

It was drifting towards Ireland.
Now it isn't.
A satellite had located the ship in February but after the EPIRB signal was received, another satellite fly by showed no sign of the ship.
I think we can assume it has sunk.

FURTHER UPDATE!!!
While going through different websites regarding Lyubov Orlova I discovered some sad news.According to the Irish Coastgaurd on March 1st MV Lyubov Orlova's emergency beacon was activated not long bofore 1 o clock that morning 700 miles south-west of Kerry (still International waters).She can no longer be found.It is believed she has sunk.A Twitter account affixed to Lyubov Orlova says "Lots of new lobster friends here, is dark and nice place for long sleep. Goodnight leetle friends, Orlova out."If this is so R.I.P Lyubov Orlov. Will someone attempt to discover her? No one knows.
Hope this is helpful,sorry to dissappoint
Damien

Unbelievable saga! Government of Canada tows vessel considered too toxic to scrap out to international waters, and sets it adrift. Thankfully there was no incident!!
