| #1 I truly wish they had hung on to this ship, because I can see all sorts of possibilities for Xe in the future with it. So there is probably an underlying reason why they are dumping it. Unless, of course, they are going to sell it to a shell company, to get out from under restrictive maritime limits imposed by whatever flag it is registered under. |
