Is this up to date, I thought I read something similar a while ago?

I see the crew have been arrested and are charged with trafficking
I wonder if the tug will now go to auction

I would think once the case is finished she would go to auction. She will have been gutted inside but someone will get a good deal and hopefully she will be back working one day :)

Hi James
I hope she gets a new lease of life as she is too young to be scrapped
Do you know who the owners are
