As for what we have been told, being Carnival is a customer and we had people on the boat. Resolve Marine group out of Florida towed the vessel in. Seems the Coast Guard pretty much has said the same thing.

Now, it may very well be true that a Mexican flagged vessel was the first to get to the scene I have heard nothing about them actually hooking up to it.

If you think that 3 incidents in 18 months from one vendor is something "they are not amused" over I would hate to think what their opinion is of Mearsk or any of the other companies moving freight.

Triumph also had another issue [View all] nmbluesky Feb 2013 OP
