Costa Allegra Under Tow<\/p><\/div>\n

The Costa Allegra cruise ship which has been drifting without power after an engine fire in the Indian Ocean is now under tow to Mahe in the Seychelles.<\/p>\n

The Allegra, currently being towed by the French fishing vessel Trevignon had initally been due to head towards\u00a0the island of Desroches, 142 miles south-west of Mahe, however\u00a0<\/span>Costa Cruises now say that\u00a0it will\u00a0proceed to the Seychelles capital of Mahe. A Costa\u00a0<\/span>statement said: ‘The disembarkation in\u00a0Desroches does not assure the necessary and adequate security conditions for\u00a0 mooring the ship and guests\u2019 disembarkation. <\/span>In addition, logistics and hotels on the island are not enough. Thus the ship will be towed to Mahe also with the\u00a0assistance of two tugs that are approaching the ship and that would allow to increase the speed.’<\/span><\/p>\n

It is being reported that passengers are staying in the communal rooms and outside on the upper deck rather than using their cabins, whilst emergency <\/span>generators are powering the ship’s command systems and radio.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
