  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.
