RIO

imo 7111078

July-2010 The 320 crew members of the cruise ship Rio, anchored in Ashdod, have been refusing to disembark for nearly two weeks, even though they have practically no electricity or food. They're not leaving until they receive last month's salaries, they say. The ship's receivers, attorneys Ilan Orli and Eran Shellac, said they would be able to pay the crew's salaries soon. They said the ship is owned by a company registered in the Marshall Islands called Eagles Holding. That company bought the ship from a company called Perla (Louis Cruises)

Sept.2011 Sold to unknown owner for approx. $ 4.8 milj. MS RIO: Wir berichteten am 16.10 über die erfolgreiche Versteigerung der MS RIO. Laut Medienberichten soll die in Miami ansässige Kyma Ship Management das Schiff gekauft haben. Momentan in Perama, wird sie dort in den Wintermonaten renoviert, um ab April 2012 Kreuzfahrten ab Piräus in griechischen Gewässern anzubieten. Experten wissen, das Kyma Eignerin der MONA LISA war, welche von Lord Nelson in Deutschland vermarktet wurde. Ein ebenbürtiger Ersatz ist die Rio sicherlich nicht.
