I remember this little beauty of a vessel LYSHAV belonging to DFDS LYSLINE. She has since been sold by the company in november of last year, but then i saw a picture of her a few days ago well so i thought in the GREEN REEFFERS skin. I think i was wrong. But can anyone tell me who she is now sailing for?

Kind Regards

Shipping News and information / Philippine ferry to be refloated
« on: July 02, 2008, 09:31:12 AM »
Officials in the Philippines say they plan to refloat a ferry which capsized last month with 865 people and 10 tonnes of toxic chemicals on board.

Only 56 people are known to have survived the disaster, and at least 700 bodies are believed trapped in the vessel, which ran aground and capsized during a typhoon.

A government official said the ship's owners, Sulpicio Lines Inc, had been informed of the plan and had agreed to pay for the salvage operation, which could take two months.

AdvertisementAttempts to bring the bodies out came to an abrupt halt last week when shipping officials said the cargo included 10 tonnes of endosulfan, a toxic pesticide.

'We have made a decision that we want to just refloat the vessel,' Elena Bautista, transportation undersecretary and head of a government taskforce handling the ferry disaster, told reporters in the central Cebu City.

'It's the best way to get all the bodies out and the cargo and dangerous goods inside.' Ms Bautista said the government has scrapped an option to bore a hole in the ship's hull due to 'too many risks involved'.

Water samples taken from the sea off Sibuyan island showed there had been no contamination but a fishing ban around the area has remained in force.

The sinking of the MV Princess of the Stars is the country's worst sea accident since the Dona Paz ferry collided with an oil tanker in 1987, killing more than 4,000 people.

Sulpicio Lines also owned the Dona Paz. The company has also been involved in two other major shipping accidents.

The International Transport Federation has described as 'appalling' conditions aboard a ship which arrived at the Ringaskiddy ferryport at Cork harbour this morning.

The ITF inspector in Ireland, Ken Fleming, went aboard with SIPTU officials from Cork and said that there was such insufficient food that the union had to take members of the crew off to feed them in a local restaurant.

Port workers have agreed to discharge the cargo of molasses aboard provided that the ship is properly provisioned for the crew and that wage and payment problems aboard are resolved.

The ITF inspector has called on the Department of the Marine port control authorities to inspect the ship.

Ken Fleming said the Filipino seafarers had not been provided with adequate food for a fortnight but the officers seemed to be looking after themselves.

The ship is registered in Liberia. The owners have so far not been identified.
