The tugboat tasked with hauling the MV Lyubov Orlova to the Dominican Republic was ordered to return to St. John’s harbour on Sunday, three days after the towing line snapped.
The location of the MV Lyubov Orlova is unknown and it hasn’t been for over four days, says the ship’s owner Reza Shoeybi.
Shoeybi has been contacting Transport Canada and the Canadian Coast Guard since February 4 to try and get an update on the location of his vessel but with no luck."I call them every morning, they tell me to call back. They don’t know," he says. The last update he was given on the vessel’s location was February 4 and all he knows for sure is there is no way it’s still in that location now.
Febr.24-2013 According to Agence France-Presse (AFP) the Russian ship Lyubov Orlova has been adrift and has only just been located approximately 2,400 kilometres off the west coast of Ireland
