The Khaleej Times reports that there is still no indication of what has become of the M/V Infinity Marine 1. The ship was last seen leaving the Fujairah anchorage on June 10, bound for Somalia. The captain contacted the company on June 16 to report that the ship had encountered a cyclone. Since then, the ship - which was carrying 4,500 tons of dry goods - has not been heard from. The French and US Navy are looking for the ship, and a satellite search is also being conducted. The ship did not issue any distress calls, nor has any debris been found, raising hope that the ship and crew are still safe.

Hey guys/gals,
Send us picture of your freshly painted boat and you could win a bunch of nothing, but we may use your picture in our new home page image.
Now before you get all excited, you need to understand that I am currently working on a script that will take boats out of the Photo Gallery, and randomly display your image on the upper right hand side of the page, adjacent to tugboatlife.com image.
I can't wait to see Queen's picture.
Thanks,
CaptJudd |
