According to USA Today, the United Kingdom's Coast Guard detained the ship while it was in Southampton, England undergoing repairs. The UK Coast Guard wouldn't give specific details about all the issues with the ship but concluded that the multiple issues led to a major non-conformity.
There was also a statement that there were violations of the International Safety Maritime Code which is a standard for safe management and operation of a ship that included an issue with the emergency preparedness.
There was also concern over the ships stability because the ship arrived in Southampton overladen which questioned how the crew calculated stability.
What are your thoughts about the ship now? Would you sail on it in the future, why or why not?! Please leave a comment and spread the word about our new blog and hey, why don't you stay around and look at all the other exciting posts! Thanks.
